Every episode of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has at least one scene where I find myself on the edge of my seat gravitating towards the television because what is happening feels so magical. Totally mundane scenes of two people talking are totally enchanting.

In my WIP a character is asking "Are you claustrophobic?" Microsoft Word's utterly deranged grammar checker is convinced this should read "Are your claustrophobic?" I feel strongly that every time it pops up something this egregiously wrong I should get to slap a Microsoft Executive.
