SO. 

I’ve finally started reading Game of Thrones.  Yes yes,  I know, I hear you. I’ve been a bit busy, ok?

But anyhoo – Yes, I’ve finally started legitimately reading it….and….

I’m not really liking it so far :/  

I haven’t gotten far enough in to really have any say-so over the story or plot line itself…..but the writing??

not my favorite writing. 

I get irritated at the overly abundant “he said”

“she said”  "said so-n-so insert adjective" “So-n-so said”  after. 

every.

single.

god damn.

line.

DUDE. if you have to repeatedly tell me 20 times who said what when you only have SO many people talking…….somethings wrong.  -OR- when you have to REPEATEDLY tell me who said what when to whom because you have THAT many people talking at once – maybe you just shouldn’t have so many people talking at one time??  Or maybe you should set up your scenes better so we can tell who would be saying what when without having to blatantly spell it out like a first-grade picture book so many god damn times. 

This is incredibly frustrating, and it’s really disappointing because I have enjoyed the show so much – and I really *want* to like it. 

Plus, everyone, e v e r y o n e  told me ‘oh, if you like crown of stars, you should read a song of ice and fire – you’ll love it!’  really got me way too psyched up for this, because holy shit – *I LOVE CROWN OF STARS* 

so I was all ready to be sucked into another plethora-long series of epic fantasy awesomeness.

On a side note though, it makes me feel a lot better about my own writing, because I don’t feel so different, or so inexperienced or like what I’m writing is actually so horrible ;p

I’m going to keep on going and see if the writing style eases up enough for me to actually get into it. I would hate not being able to get into a good story just because of some writing quirks
