If he was actually a writer of quality, this development would be met with praise instead of derision.
I guess he needs to see the movie to find out how the book turns out.
My Dad was a writer of some note and I grew up with the cloud of missing deadlines over our heads. It is a definite NO NO. But it happens. He is not a hack writer. GEEZ.
The people running the series are doing a better job with Game of Thrones than Martin is with his books. So this isn’t too much of a loss. At least with the series, we will have some chance of getting payoffs on some of the plotlines running thru the books.
He is a big time commie lib
I read all the books, but watching Game of Boners on TV got boring. Gave it up in 4th season.
Loved what South Park did to GRRM.
That’s what happens when you tap a 67 year old relatively unhealthy man to write 1500 page books with extremely intricate plots.
If it weren’t for the TV show I think Martin would’ve retired by now and either sold the rights to his books to someone or just stopped altogether. He is practically retired, writing small projects here and there and attending fan events.
It sounds like he hasn’t made any progress at all since the last time he said he can’t stop rewriting it.
My guess is he isn’t going to finish the series.
I’m not going to be watching the show anymore until I’ve read the books.
Can't imagine why the holdup. Here is is working hard on the book.
I’m sure Brandon Sanderson can step in and finish it for Martin. He has prior experience and is a much better writer.
