After many months of work, I'm thrilled to announce the first draft of the Mistborn screenplay is DONE! Just in time to celebrate the book's original publication, twenty years ago this month. Do please remember that this is just an early step in a very long process, but I'm terribly excited by how it turned out!
MURAL OF LIBERTY: A new Pride Month mural was just unveiled today at the Sister Namibia Eros office in Windhoek, serving as a public symbol of visibility, inclusion and human rights. The mural was unveiled under the theme "Hold High The Banners Of Liberty"
The unveiling was attended by members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as members of the Sister Namibia women's empowerment group.

Yes he is right but this post is super misleading. He said this months ago, bringing it up now with a picture of a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms makes it seems he is talking specifically about that series.
George R.R. Martin on how film and TV adaptations make the story worse:
"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, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, 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."
Is he right?
