I've written 3 'books' (ie. full length manuscripts, not published or anything!), so I thought I'd chip in with my experience. 1) do not try to write and edit at the same time. For years I would write a passage or even a few pages then delete it all because I thought it was rubbish. When I...

I assumed the same thing. Also, they had a greater focus on Theon than they did in the books (which I think was amazing, Theon's hubris and fall were some of my favourite parts of season 2). I think introducing two more characters and having to delve into Bran too much last season would weigh...

England is a good place :3 most of us like it, though we'd never admit it unless someone else is criticising our healthcare or we're playing rugby... You may find the fact you don't drink an even bigger problem over here though, as it's very much ingrained into our culture. Saying that, there...

You sound so young 0.o like the others said, who you associate with is your choice, though what she does with her life is hers. You probably could have handled it a little bit better.

One thing I would definitely recommend is checking out The Atheist Experience (http://www.atheist-experience.com/). I think At the end of the most recent episode (803) there's a caller whose worried about 'coming out' and they give out advice in many of their shows. Their discussions will also...

Oh, and it would be awesome if this resulted in more support for British Farmers and fewer European imports, but I don't know much about economics, so whatevs.

The problem is the media have been focusing too much on the "horse meat being taboo" bit and not on the "we have no idea where this meat came from or how it got into the system" bit. I wouldn't want to eat horse myself but plenty of cultures do so obviously horse in itself isn't dangerous in...

I used to be really into ghosts and cryptozoology and stuff when I was a kid but I don't think I ever really believed any of it. My dad's very skeptical so I think I always had an upbringing of critical consideration. Don't believe anything without a good reason, and extraordinary claims require...

As an archaeologist (specialising in osteology) I'm glad to see that people are excited about this :) But, for the UK people who may have caught the Channel 4 show on it, that Phillipa woman was really bloody annoying. Clearly had no idea about actual archaeological procedure.

Ah I feel ya there, my mum's exactly the same. Either straight up insults or backhanded compliments, like "[family friend] says your so pretty even though you're fat". Thanks Ma. I used to have loads of hang ups about my weight but now that I'm at uni I've realised I actually don't care all...

Yep, that'll be me, I was using this avatar a little while ago. Presumably the friend of your friend is my new housemate. Small world!

I'm moving in with some 3rd year Biology students in Exeter! Never met 'em. It could be yoooouuuu!

What bugs me is when someone develops nigh on superpowers in very little time, despite it supposedly being a long and arduous process. Aang and Korra from Avatar are examples of this (Aang more so as he managed to essentially master 3 elements in 6 months, at least Korra had the basics down when...

HORAY! I was toying with the idea of buying the newest book, now I definitely will!

When I was much younger I totally fancied Artemis Fowl. Ten years later and he's still not legal so now it's just weird. Much less weirder is my eternal crush on Bigwig, the badass rabbit from Watership Down (mostly the book version).
