Writing is fucking easy.



Getting anyone to read your shit? MUCH harder.

King's work is simple. Create situation, drop character into it, expand on character to make him likable, and follow a logical progression from A to B to C in the tired three act structure used by all Hollywood. Any retard can do that. That's why you can create a "What if ... X ... and it kills!" sentence to define all King's major premises in regards to his novels. Martin's work is also simple, but he has the problem of building a world around his characters, and setting them up in Machiavellian political situations. That takes a little more thought. Not much, though. Martin doesn't have King's ability to shit out commercial prose at a fast pace, but King only did that while on cocaine and various other drugs. King tries to write fast now, but he can't do it with the same competence (I use that word loosely) as he did in the past. Also, King had his clock cleaned by a van in the nineties. Though Martin's brain is riddled with retardation from years of ingesting transfats and sugars. So, that's how they do--and don't do--it.

Dreamcatcher, the book he wrote while in the hospital recovering from this, is batshit insane as a result.

probably that was the result of the last of his braincells that knew how to write dying off

I'd argue it was probably more due to the insanely heavy-duty painkillers he was on through the whole process.

kek that would do it. But then what is Martin's excuse. The "then she shat water" and all that.

he read european history and made up stories on his youth about boats that would come to port so he had early development in creativity, doesn't take a genius to alter historical events and to write a cohesive story with that, and his "understands women" is literally him writing what women want to be seen as instead of what women are and justifying them with POV chapters like he does with every character, revolutionary writing anna karenina would be proud

>batshit insane

It's meh. It never reached the heights of pure insanity King scaled in this MASTERPIECE novel. This book is so demented, King himself is embarrassed about it (he shouldn't be, it's among his best if going by pure intensity).

I think King said this is a good 300 page novel crammed into a 600 page book. 

I think he also said it was his subconscious crying out for help.

>I think he also said it was his subconscious crying out for help.

Yes and it's delectable

Isnt it just Lovecraft's Color Out of Space? I'd be embarassed to if I ripped off someone's story so blatantly.
