The guy’s made so much money off of Game of Thrones that he’s got this writer wondering if a DOS computer isn’t the real secret to success. So, why does he write on such an old system? It’s not like he can’t afford a better computer. If you’ve never used a DOS computer or have forgotten just how complex the WordStar system was, there are plenty of demonstration videos on YouTube that will give you some serious respect for Martin’s writing methods. There isn’t a cursor, so you have to enter commands on the keyboard to do anything within the processor. With its black background and complex controls, it looks like Microsoft Word’s evil twin. The WordStar 4.0 word processor looks like it came straight out of a 90’s sci-fi movie too. Think about that next time you want to upgrade your system as soon as the newest version comes available. For anyone too young to remember, WordStar 4.0 was released in 1987, nearly 30 years ago. Martin uses a DOS running computer and a WordStar 4.0 word processor to type out his epic novels. Martin writes them all on a computer older than current college students. The popular novels’ crazy size and complexity makes it even more shocking to find out that author George R.R.
They’re so long and hefty that just holding them to read should count as some form of weightlifting. As I’m sure many of you readers know, the Game of Thrones books are freaking massive.
