Forever in search of opportunities to write, George R.R. Martin has at last found an avenue for creative expression in Twitter—the angry, drunken, often sexist raven messenger of the online realm. (Given his aversion to modern technology, presumably Martin hands his assistant dot matrix printouts of his tweets to be transcribed.) Already distinguishing himself from most of Twitter, the Song Of Ice And Fire author did not use his new, officially verified account to give away any Game Of Thrones plot details. Instead, he used it to warn that he won’t be tweeting very much, as he is obviously very busy writing—specifically over on his Livejournal page, winky face. Regardless, it’s good to see George R.R. Martin writing something where characters are spared.
