Another area I’ve been interested in recently is the opening sentences of chapters.

I have read the series several times, as each book has been released. I think Martin’s style is extremely difficult (for me) to incorporate into my writing, probably because it is so difficult to analyze all the elements that he employs. What boggles me the most is all the foreshadowing he is doing all along, but you don’t know it until several books later. Since my memory is fairly poor, I only became aware of the extent of it when I read the fourth book for the second time (being my 4th time through the series.)

Reading this series has turned into a life time commitment now.

Great post!
