Some good stuff here (with the disclaimer that writing advice is easy, good writing is hard).

“Literally anything else you can do would be a better use of your time, at this point, than writing about Game of Thrones. Literally anything.”

Pretty sure this is inspired by the category of “political writers” at Slate, Salon, Vox, Buzzfeed, Gawker et cetera who are genuinely not at all interested in their topic — politics — but are doing it because that’s where the gigs are. It’s remarkable how many of them would rather write about GoT. But a ton of good general advice as well.
