Updating You On Non-Updates
As this blog turns its focus to The Winds of Winter, we (or I, since Pesci seems to have flown the coop lately, leaving me with the bloody knife and the shovel), I feel compelled to share with you another interview with George regarding the HBO series and a whole lot of blather.
In keeping with his longstanding tradition of filling time that could be well-spent on creating his beloved/eternally frustrating fantasy series, George reveals that he has only about 100 pages of TWOW done, most of which is leftover material from ADWD. In addition, he courteously heads off any guesswork on his fans' parts by stating that he "will return to [writing TWOW] in January." Because in the meantime, he has a coffee table book and a Dunk & Egg novella to work on.
I'm going to close this off with a quote that I wish I could attribute, but I neglected to get the poster's/author's name when I was browsing the web the other day. But to paraphrase, an astute reader/critic of GRRM's and this whole affair said, "You know, for a writer, his publishers, and a cable network to spend so much time and money trying to turn this guy's books into a cash cow, it's ironic that his fans are criticized for being "demanding" when it comes to finishing the series."
Well said, anonymous sir and/or madam. Well said.
More updates to come...hope you all are well.
