djammmer Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Just heard Brandon Sanderson compare his writing style vs. George R. Martins style as "Gardeners" vs. "Architects." Sanderson said his style is more the Architect style. Of course after reading Lift... we know what the gardner spren is like. I'm wondering what the architect spren is BTW - hearing Sanderson describe the "gardener" writing style sounded very much like how Lift approaches things.... "doesn't really pick a goal, just wanders there w/o a plan; and deals w/ whatever happens after arriving there."

If you just go with the flow, all you get is half grown vegetables and weeds
