Re: Your math up above Nate Send a noteboard - 25/03/2011 04:45:23 PM
Your math up above fails to take into account his Wild Cards work, his other editing projects, signing tours, conventions, or his work with HBO on the show. Not arguing with the conclusion that he's slower than average, but it's not as slow as your math says.

Also, as a writer, you should know that you mean right, not write. You did it twice. ;)

See, I disagree. Lady Mystery - 23/03/2011 01:05:59 AM 1683 Views
Also, I think we all know GRRM has more interest than just writing Dark Knight - 23/03/2011 05:06:34 AM 1567 Views
I would agree with you, but... Eh! Frank - 24/03/2011 06:59:14 AM 1481 Views

Yeah but, come on, 6 years? And 5 years for the book before that? *NM* Dark Knight - 23/03/2011 05:05:01 AM 713 Views
Yes that is longer than most... ? - 23/03/2011 08:31:57 PM 1456 Views

do you realize how little time is spent on whining and bitching? MalkierKnight - 24/03/2011 10:06:16 AM 1355 Views
Well, you're spending time on it right now. *NM* Variant - 25/03/2011 03:35:10 AM 714 Views

Can we please stop making baseless comparisons to Lord of the Rings? Thanks. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:22:50 AM 1407 Views
And can we try to strive for accuracy in what we are saying? Thanks. Werthead - 25/03/2011 08:24:51 AM 1440 Views
Yeah, and im sure WWII, which his son was fighting in, wasn't a distraction at all MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 01:09:22 PM 1403 Views
He still went to work, bucko. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:57:26 PM 1281 Views

You, uh, just started arguing my position. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 10:55:19 AM 1256 Views
Are you seriously that naive? MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 01:07:39 PM 1561 Views
I think you're relying on math way too much to interpret the situation. Werthead - 25/03/2011 08:48:32 PM 1657 Views

But Sanderson's book was a mess. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/03/2011 09:35:56 PM 698 Views
Was it really? Which one was this? *NM* rebelaessedai - 25/03/2011 03:40:58 AM 774 Views
ToM. Still was better than what Jordan was writing, though. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:21:49 AM 1167 Views
Interesting. rebelaessedai - 27/03/2011 11:32:39 PM 1399 Views

In some places, yeah. rebelaessedai - 29/03/2011 04:17:38 AM 1857 Views
I thought it was pretty damn good, personally. *NM* callandor1000 - 25/03/2011 05:13:25 AM 814 Views
I enjoyed it a lot more than I enjoyed any of Jordan's recent books. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:20:47 AM 1439 Views
I enjoyed it immensely as well, but im still torn MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 03:07:59 PM 1378 Views

I think about half of the responses are just from Malkierknight. *NM* Japhy - 25/03/2011 05:11:18 PM 736 Views
These threads are always ridiculous. I'm both astounded & not at all surprised that there's another Rebekah - 25/03/2011 06:39:34 PM 1338 Views
