child matter needs point
I think in television and film, it's not usually the child's point of view. It's the story of an adult. If there's a child in a drama or an action-adventure movie, they're someone who needs to be saved, someone who needs to be protected, or if they're killed, someone who needs to be avenged. Their character doesn't matter much.
children dying needs
We'll need to make a litter to carry him," said Osha. "No use," said Luwin. "I'm dying, woman." "You can't," said Rickon angrily. "No you can't." Beside him, Shaggydog bared his teeth and growled. The maester smiled. "Hush now, child, I'm much older than you. I can . . . die as I please.
dog stupid needs
If you need help bark like a dog." - Gendry. "That's stupid. If I need help I'll shout help." - Arya
sleep littles needs
I just need to rest, that’s all, to rest and sleep some, and maybe die a little.
dream sleep needs
I need to sleep, but fear to dream.
love-you needs helping
Come at once. Help me. Save me. I need you as I have never needed you before. I love you, I love you, I love you. Come at once"-Cersei Lannister
looks needs innocent
The ones who look the most suspicious are likely innocent. It's the ones who look innocent I need to beware.
strong needs reviews
Sure. Some of the reviews have been very flattering, but the series is not finished yet. The end needs to be as strong as the beginning.
want pages needs
I want you to be afraid to turn the page (and to do that) you need to show right from the beginning that you're playing for keeps.
needs
We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.
careers different needs
It's different for every writer. It's not a career for anyone who needs security. It's a career for gamblers. It's a career of ups and downs.
four gotta grew missed next send until
I grew up with four T.V. channels. If you missed a show, you missed it. You gotta wait a week for the next one. I'd mail-order books: take a quarter, get an envelope, send off for it and wait until it arrived. I grew up waiting for things.
book sleep healing
Sleep is good, he said, And books are better.
hate book writing
I hate outlines. I have a broad sense of where the story is going; I know the end, I know the end of the principal characters, and I know the major turning points and events from the books, the climaxes for each book, but I don't necessarily know each twist and turn along the way. That's something I discover in the course of writing and that's what makes writing enjoyable. I think if I outlined comprehensively and stuck to the outline the actual writing would be boring.
