For me, novels coalesce into being, rather than arrive fully formed.

They don't arrive at the Commons fully formed. But they're more formed than they used to be. They don't just sit there for 10 years. They're all immediately scheming and positioning.

I like shows that are surprising and not predictable. That have deep, rich characters that are fully formed.

And it has to do with having no inventory or stockpiles on the shelf, but items arrive as you need to build your product. What that means is that it's much more difficult to actually find stockpiles of already built weapons.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

I don't have problems starting writing. I have problems stopping. I'm one of the last dads to arrive at school to collect the kids, because I want to get this paragraph just right.
