George R.R. Martin calls out producers and screenwriters who change things from the books
"Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and “make them their own.��� It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee ... Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain ... Jane Austen, or… well, anyone. No matter how major a writer it is, no matter how great the book, there always seems to be someone on hand who thinks he can do better, eager to take the story and “improve” on it. “The book is the book, the film is the film,” they will tell you, as if they were saying something profound. Then they make the story their own. They never make it better, though. Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse"
You know you are reading or writing a good book when the characters and story won't let you sleep at night. And you just have to read or write another chapter after another chapter. #amwriting As authors, our goal is to keep you up at night reading. -Wrtr
Yo, being “older” is such a flex. Imagine being completely alone, at a lounge, just enjoying your solo time, feeling 💯 confident and comfortable, not giving a fuck about being by yourself or caring what anyone thinks about you… Glorious.
Should you write, create art? Writing is about what it does for you inside first. Always do something you feel you would love. The doing is about how you grow and not about who's listening. Who's listening comes after the writing is done. Grow strong. Write well. -Wrtr #amwriting
