Generally speaking, which author do you enjoy reading their interviews, social media, writing advice, blogs, etc.?
One of my favorites is Joe Abercrombie. He not only discusses his current WIP on occasion but also talks about TV shows, movies, or games he's been playing. In a way, he's sort of my hero in that he obviously spends lots of time on his books but also takes time out to do other things he enjoys.
Another good writer to check out is Chuck Wendig who writes different kind of fiction. He has a pretty hilarious blog at Terribleminds.com. Mostly he dispenses advice for writers and also gives flash fiction contests on occasion. A good "writer's writer" to keep up with.
Also from what I've seen of Brandon Sanderson's interviews, he offers tons of insight into his writing process and how to be successful in writing.
I used to like following GRRM but he talks about football and merchandise too much. Not really my thing...
