This week's Resolution Recipe: Oxtail Stew.
This may seem to be the same as a couple other Resolution Recipes I've done in the past, but I assure you that this is completely different.
( Why? Because it's from a different cookbook, that's why. )

Wait a minute....

Brandon Sanderson, a fantasy author I quite like, did an interview with a French magazine. This jumped out at me:

"I do a lot of notes and plans; I’m what we call an outliner. George R. R. Martin talks about writers and says that you tend to be either what he calls an architect or a gardener."

I'm pretty sure I mentioned that during one of Sanderson's SF signings. It's a question I often ask at signings. I heard Martin use the analogy when he toured for the last Song of Ice and Fire book.

(I do mean "last". George RR Martin may not be my bitch, as Neil Gaiman memorably said, but I have no reason to believe that Martin will ever write another book in this series. Sigh.)

What I'm reading: Charlie Huston, Already Dead
