Make a world, focus on characters, get an end game.. finish a short series..write new books in the same world.
Really smart, and I love it..
Cool, I wish you the best of luck. I think the think to take away from Abercrombie is that his writing isn't dry. Most of the characters are hilarious in their own way, even the most serious ones like Ferro. He also never spends more than a paragraph or two setting a scene, he's smart enough to keep peppering in details throughout clever, well written dialog. As much as I enjoyed ASOIAF it can be awful laborious at times. For me there is nothing worse than turning a page and seeing two great columns of text absent dialogue.
