Okay so I’ve gotten about a third of the next chapter of Losing Game written, I just gotta write the driftmark episode now

I’m still so stuck on what to do for pearl in the sand. Should I continue with a pov for the changes that occurred with Robb Stark? Or do I just jump into Elio Sand’s POV in the story??? 
          
          Feel free to share your opinions bc I’m lost

I think you should start with the elio storyline and then weave in some bits and pieces of the Robb changes to the storyline along the way.

Long awaited new chapter of Losing Game coming out tomorrow! Be on the lookout for that! :)
          
          It’s still another prologue chapter, but I swear we’ll be done with that and onto the main story soon! After this chapter, I just have to do one large, condense chapter of the 120 AC events!

after writing such a horrible shit prologue and rewriting it five times in the span of five hours, I’ve come to the conclusion that I will not be writing a prologue for of weirwoods and hearths and will instead dive straight into the main story bc FCK I CANT KEEP WRITING THIS SAME SHITTY CHAPTER

I’m kinda debating whether I should write a prologue for a pearl in the sand (and what should happen in that prologue), or if I should just jump straight into the story with a first chapter? And now I’m just stuck in indecision. I don’t really want to write a prologue of Oberyn finding Elio, because I feel like it’d be a bit redundant… but if I did write a prologue what should it be? I feel like I’ve hit a wall and that doesn’t bode well for me when I’ve only just started this book. And instead of agonizing over it and wasting time, I figured I’d ask all of you, who may come across this… 
          
          So, Thoughts? Feedback? Feelings?

A friend of mine asked me what I thought of the new season of hotd so far, they’re more of a casual watcher and only knows a bit of the book canon from this universe, and I honestly could not say much about it. Like, it looks pretty? That’s kind of about it because the writing is so bad and detrimental to its former potential. This show could have been spectacular, showcasing complex characters and telling really interesting stories through these characters. But nope, it’s a tb fan fiction that has such horrible favoritism that it ends up actually making tb look so much worse and less interesting compared to their book counterparts. And the tg side of the family is set up so badly that they’re no longer recognizable characters. And all characters in this show are so inconsistent… and not to mention the writers and showrunners either seem to not have read the book or have truly studied it enough to adapt the story well

Honestly, I don’t think I’m gonna watch the rest of the show after seeing episode 1. Or maybe I will once it’s over but I doubt I’ll enjoy it. If episode 1 is what it’s gonna be like for the rest of the season, I’m honestly not that interested. 
          
          As much as B&C is horrific and probably way too dark for television (altho considering some of the fucked up things they did in GOT I have my own doubts), the way they played it out in the episode was horrible and underwhelming and it was obviously written in a way to make you sympathetic for the Black faction while invalidating a real trauma for the Greens. 
          
          This whole show has rewritten both factions to a point where most characters are unrecognizable from the source material or even MISSING is absurd. 
          
          I love the actors, and I really want to support them for their amazing performances, but it’s honestly so painful to watch such originally complex and interesting characters be stripped of what made them interesting in the narrative in the first place. Sure the show is still a tragedy, but it’s not the same tragedy that I’ve come to understand it was supposed to be. 
          
          And if that’s how it’s gonna continue to be, with biased writing that makes it clear the show runners have no care or understanding of the themes of the source material, then I don’t want it. 
          
          I’ll stick to fan fiction, thank you very much.

But it’s definitely motivated me to write losing Game with MAJOR canon plot revisions

So I have seen episodes 2 & 3, and it’s definitely not my cup of tea. There were some moments that I liked, but most of it overall was just… I honestly can’t even. As always, it’s aesthetically nice to look at and stuff, but that’s about it. I honestly hated ep 3 more than I did ep 1. So yeah there’s that
