Unfortunately I was sick over this week and was unable to attend the lecture. However the reading “The Night Of a Thousand Wizards” kind of touched on and built on what I was thinking regarding Game of Thrones last week. It’s amazing how something so fake can seem so real to some people. How the way things are created and described, and the way characters each have their own personality despite (particularly in books) only having one person create them. How something can seem – in reference to Harry Potter – “So Ron”, or “Classic Hermione”. I’ve always been fascinated how authors transform words into worlds.

I’d love to be able to master that art, because of course it’s an art. Anyone can write a story, but it takes a master to bring it to life.
