Apparently Diana Gabaldon was asked about Martin's troubles and whether she will be able to keep up or not for the Outlander series and doesn't think it will be a problem:
Quote:
“No, unlike George I write no matter where I am or what I’m doing,” she said. “He admits it himself, he doesn’t like to write while he travels, that’s just the way he works. Everybody has their own writing mechanism. When I began writing, I had two full-time jobs and three small children and I wrote in any spare minutes that I had. I just kept that work ethic, so to speak. I have a couple hours in the middle of the night that I can count [on] when things are quiet, and that’s my main writing time. I write at intervals during the day. I write when I travel, and so forth.”

He has said there are 10 books planned for this series so I was confused why you would start when only 1/2 of them were done... and then I found this at Wikipedia:
Quote:
Ten books are planned in the series, broken down into two sets of five books each. Sanderson describes the planned story arc of the second set of five book as a "sequel" to the first set, with some appearances of characters from the first set

I read the first one a couple years ago and have been holding off the second till the series was almost done but I will probably wait till book 5 now too (pending any changes on his part).
