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 1668 Views
Also, I think we all know GRRM has more interest than just writing Dark Knight - 23/03/2011 05:06:34 AM 1554 Views
I would agree with you, but... Eh! Frank - 24/03/2011 06:59:14 AM 1467 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 709 Views
Yes that is longer than most... ? - 23/03/2011 08:31:57 PM 1443 Views

do you realize how little time is spent on whining and bitching? MalkierKnight - 24/03/2011 10:06:16 AM 1342 Views
Well, you're spending time on it right now. *NM* Variant - 25/03/2011 03:35:10 AM 709 Views

Can we please stop making baseless comparisons to Lord of the Rings? Thanks. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:22:50 AM 1395 Views
And can we try to strive for accuracy in what we are saying? Thanks. Werthead - 25/03/2011 08:24:51 AM 1426 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 1386 Views
He still went to work, bucko. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:57:26 PM 1268 Views

You, uh, just started arguing my position. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 10:55:19 AM 1240 Views
Are you seriously that naive? MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 01:07:39 PM 1549 Views
I think you're relying on math way too much to interpret the situation. Werthead - 25/03/2011 08:48:32 PM 1645 Views

But Sanderson's book was a mess. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/03/2011 09:35:56 PM 691 Views
Was it really? Which one was this? *NM* rebelaessedai - 25/03/2011 03:40:58 AM 767 Views
ToM. Still was better than what Jordan was writing, though. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:21:49 AM 1154 Views
Interesting. rebelaessedai - 27/03/2011 11:32:39 PM 1389 Views

In some places, yeah. rebelaessedai - 29/03/2011 04:17:38 AM 1843 Views
I thought it was pretty damn good, personally. *NM* callandor1000 - 25/03/2011 05:13:25 AM 809 Views
I enjoyed it a lot more than I enjoyed any of Jordan's recent books. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:20:47 AM 1427 Views
I enjoyed it immensely as well, but im still torn MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 03:07:59 PM 1368 Views

I think about half of the responses are just from Malkierknight. *NM* Japhy - 25/03/2011 05:11:18 PM 731 Views
