A first-person rendition of what itās like in George R. R. Martinās head when writing his books for A Song of Ice and Fire.
Have you ever wondered about the creative writing process George R. R. Martin goes through when writing Game of Thrones, or more broadly, his A Song of Ice and Fire series?
Iāve always pictured several printed drafts laying on the floor, post-it notes stuck on each page with details on the vast lore of Westeros and beyond. He carefully and meticulously rereads his ideas, nitpicking his work down to the names he gives his secondary characters, all to create the best stories he can muster.
Or if weāre to believe YouTuber Mr.TVCow, itās just him finding new ways to kill characters off instead of giving them a happily ever after. In his latest video, gamer and VFX editor Michael creates a first-person game of what itās like to be novelist George R. R. Martin.
The video contains spoilers if you havenāt read the third book or seen the first half of season 4.
