The first Game of Thrones book proposal

Nothing of personal historical interest to report today, so I am falling back upon Game of Thrones, which may be fantasy, but it also has a certain gritty medieval reality, and was purportedly inspired by the Wars of the Roses. Any one interested in reading GRRM’s initial proposal for his epic project? I don’t think there are any real spoilers for this was written years ago—at the time, he planned a trilogy! And the plot and the characters have changed as the writing progressed, as often happens. So I would seriously doubt that the eventual ending of the Ice and Fire series will resemble this in any fashion. But for those who don’t want to take even a small risk, pass it by. For the rest of us Gamers, enjoy this brief glimpse inside the head of a very gifted writer. I personally think some of his characters wanted a say in their own fates and did not always agree with the course GRRM had charted for them. I’ve had a few of mine who ended up getting a lot more time on center stage than expected; you never know who is going to be a born scene-stealer until it happens. So I would guess that Jamie probably did some whispering to GRRM’s subconscious, resulting in a more complex character than GRRM first planned, and we know how charming Tyrion can be when he puts his mind to it. Anyway, here is the link. http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/game-o...
