Erm... Werthead Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 12:59:10 PM
So I'm not up to date with the latest. All I know is I've been waiting for a friggin long time to read ADWD, and meanwhile Martin is lurking around movie sets and doing quizzes about the latest actor signed up to portray a character I met back in A Game of Thrones. Meanwhile I'm waiting to find out what happened to Arya after she went blind in AFFC, what happened to Jon on the wall, and when the North will rise again.


The answers to those questions are in ADWD, I can at least say that.

Martin doesn't give a sh*t, because he's hobnobbing with directors and actresses instead of writing a page a day.


This would be difficult since they are filming approximately 5,000 miles away from where GRRM lives. He's visited the set twice and written one of the episodes (which took less than a week about eight months ago), but he's not hanging about all day talking to the film-makers.

By the way, if he had written just 1 page a day for the last 5 years, he would already have had 1500 pages and would have been done with the Winds of Winter as well (if that title is still on the cards).


Among the last updates we had from Martin, he did have over 1500 pages completed for A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, to the point where he and Bantam have had to work out some production headaches on getting it to fit into one volume.

GRRM just finished 2 chapters (wrote one, re-revised another). Anticipation level is high! Japhy - 16/12/2010 10:12:38 PM 1164 Views

Assuming nothing else has changed, that's four to go. Werthead - 16/12/2010 11:35:21 PM 731 Views
I don't have HBO so the news of it wrapping up wasn't as exciting. I'll just have to buy the dvds. Japhy - 17/12/2010 12:46:25 AM 738 Views

I thought he said he'd announce ADwD the minute he finishes, no? RandAllThor - 18/12/2010 01:51:12 PM 620 Views

Problem is he is more excited about the TV rights cash than about finishing the series... Shannow - 20/12/2010 07:43:32 PM 651 Views
A Time for Wolves? Werthead - 20/12/2010 08:07:35 PM 769 Views
Interesting. I try to stay away from the Citadel, Ring of Ice and Fire etc. to avoid spoilers. Shannow - 20/12/2010 08:13:48 PM 847 Views
