I hear he's written a whopping 1200 pages. I was able to obtain an exact page from his novel-in-progress, which I will now share with everyone. (I cannot, in all honesty, verify the accuracy of this excerpted page. Please keep that in mind as you read and discover once again...the magic!)

Eh... he's about 10 years too late. At this point I'm not even sure I'm going to buy the book at all, let alone read it.

The only way I'd read the series if it was finished.

I do respect his decision not to have anyone continue it when he croaks. |

I read books 1-3 and loved them, a great read. Book 4 I had to really slog through and it just wasn't very good. Book 5, I didn't even finish. That was so long ago, and I'm sure I just won't pick it back up when 6 comes out. Why bother, he probably will never finish the final book. I hope he does, but he's not a pillar of health.

Some writers just don't write quickly, and I know he's spoken of major depression in the past as well. It's frustrating to wait, but I get it.

I've never heard anything RE depression about Martin. I did hear that about Scott Lynch and his Gentlemen Bastards series, though. Depression/anxiety that he still suffers from.

GRRMs issues are more that he loves going to cons and he gets involved with lots of projects. And to be clear I’m not saying he shouldn’t, just that this is what delays him working on his main series. He also self edits, and does a fairly good job of it, which delays the news of a finished book going to the publisher but speeds it along once it’s been sent as there’s less they need to do. The work still gets checked over but from what’s been said it doesn’t need much tinkering after it’s left GRRMs hands. |
