Baseball season has begun (a major source of joy in our household, as both my husband and I are big fans. And for those who might not know, the answer is: Boston Red Sox.)

These days, I'm doing some editing and very much enjoying working with two talented authors.

Also doing some writing (over and above the "oh gosh I really should be working on my own stuff" writing - details as they are available.

And reading to catch up to the start of GoT's Season 4. Arya Stark is my hero.

As a writer and editor, one of the things I most admire about George R.R. Martin is his careful attention to POV. This isn't an easy thing to manage, even when the story involves one or two people, let alone a veritable cast of thousands. What you as author know may not be what the character knows, so it's good to avoid mixing your voice in with your characters' voices.

Sure, it's easier to tell the story from the proverbial top of the mountain view than it is to show the story as it unfolds, piece by piece, through the eyes of the characters IN the world, but I think you limit the reader's experience of discovery when you do that. Just my several ducats; others may feel differently.
