Fun fact: George wrote some of his earliest professionally published stories while waiting to hear back if his conscientious objector status was approved or not. Fearing that if it wasn't he'd probably die in the jungle, so he might as well try to accomplish as much of his dream as could.

Context: During the draft for the Vietnam War those selected could apply as a "Conscientious Objector" (at least for some period of it, I think), avoiding conscription in exchange for having to do mandatory public service back home (if your application was approved, apparently it took quite a bit of effort to convince the government to not ship you off to war). George luckily got approved, but (as the title says) in the summer-long period of anxiety waiting to hear back if his objector status did or didn't go through, he binge wrote some of his very first stories to be commercially published in professional magazines.

''When his once-thick golden hair had begun to recede, he had commanded his barber to shave his head; Lord Tywin did not believe in half measures. He razored his lip and chin as well, but kept his sidewhiskers, two great thickets of wiry golden hair that covered most of his cheeks from ear to jaw.''
