It's George's fault. HBO or his advisor didn't have a gun to his head. He jumped at the $ signs. Yes but when you are dealing with someone who is...not very reliable with whatever looks like a reasonable deadline you cannot then go "oh, gee, he didn't finish yet!". I mean it's like locking a child in a candy store

And tbh, if its incentive to get him working then good. But two books in nearly a decade people. 5 books in twenty years. Slooooooooooooooooooooow

I just think you know that some of the blame has to go to HBO and George's agent or whoever advises him - it was too early to start adapting the books. Adapting something that is a long way from being over and the author is taking his sweet time to finish the story is just a recipe for a lot of shit. Idk about this, though. The deal was put in place something like 8 years ago and back then George probably thought he was almost finished with ADWD. He had more than enough time from that point to get the books done, but he just dawdled with ADWD for a further 4 years and then took a year off before touching TWOW. The deal was put in place back in 2008, but D&D first met with GRRM in 2005, and brought it to HBO in 06/07. So this series had been in the works technically for nearly 10 years...

Just went through ANGRYGOTFAN's recount of Bubonicon. He read two old Barristan chapters. At Comicon he read Arianne, also stale. I can't help but think he chose these in response to HBO's treatment of the characters. AGOTF also noted that Martin had taken several months off this year to work on ASOIAF before Comicon.
I wonder what calendar he is using.

grrm.livejournal.com/441735.htmlDear George, you can´t go to worldcon. We understand your frustration. But maybe, just maybe, if you had blown 55,000 words on tWoW instead of Hugos/Puppygate, you might have gained more than enough time to go there. Yours truly, fsb

But he did go to Worldcon. They just moved the date up because Dragoncon is the bigger draw and kicks Worldcon's ass. Which pisses Martin off a lot because he believes Labor Day belongs to Worldcon.
Quit yer bitchin' and suck my dick, GURM. Or have TWOW attend to my genitals, because it gonna suck harder.

His signature lied " Current Location:My Lair Current Mood:HUNGRY FOR HUMAN FLESH Current Music:The Cries of My Lunch" I don't think he's joking any more about this tbh...

It's Emmy week so I would expect another awards-related blog post from the man himself this week
