Season 6 General Speculation v8

Should have asked him if he is writing a script for season 8.

Dammit, D&D and the intern are on their own

You're contradicting yourself here. He is clearly NOT a lazy dude, for the reasons you literally just outlined. Distracted, yes, he certainly is. But calling him lazy is extremely unfair.

And I've never understood the outrage over his blog. Its not that big a deal to just sit down and write a little blog post. It gets the juices flowing, it can be a nice break from other work, it can massively relieve stress. Those are all perfectly legitimate reasons to have a blog and those are why I have one. It's really not a huge problem. We won't get the book any faster if he stops writing his blogs. I understand the frustration, but some people are way too harsh on this guy.

If you want to call it more distracted, than lazy - I can give you that a little.   There are pretty clear signs that he's lazy - and let's face it - it's a subjective term.  To some sitting on the couch watching TV is lazy.  To some, that's work when you are reviewing it.  I'm busy writing in this forum, but my bosses would tell me I'm being lazy on the internet.  I get the impression that he'd rather do anything, except for continue finishing his magnum opus (ASOIAF).  

I'm sure creative writing is incredibly complex but I can only go by his own trends here.  I have no idea when he started AGOT, but he was able to write Books 2 and 3 just 2 years apart from one another.   He takes 5 years to write AFFC and 6 more years with ADWD.  We are 5+ years waiting for TWOW.    And let's face it Book 4/5 had some nice moments, but it also didn't have an ending. The timeline was fucked by splitting the two books and now it's equally fucked moving forward.  Those books weren't his best.

I like his blog and I think highly of the man.  He's brilliant, seems rather kind and wonderfully creative.   But I think there are too many sheep out there just willing to give the guy a pass.  

Some his blog entries aren't "little blog post".   

Maybe you'll come around to my thinking a bit IF books 6 and 7 never make into our hands. 

GRRM spends too much time bloging.

And eating and sleeping and messing with the  Cocteau!
(Which WIC pronounces as “Cock-a-too” ... jez!)

during Girls??



But for the sake of everyone waiting I hope it happens

A GoT actor saying something worth analyzing in an interview instead of "it's bigger and bloodier and Jon Snow's definitely dead"? 



It's still a very vague line of course but this from Isaac:

Pretty much. And hopefully a few other mysteries too. Like Varys's show-motivations maybe.

And if Bloodraven was indeed behind the Stark kids getting their wolves or something like that, I imagine that would count too.
