People are hugely overreacting when you actually look at the facts. Ignoring any other factors, you would have expected it to take him at least 7 years to write book 6, which would mean 2018 earliest. It took him 2 years for each of book 2 and 3, 5 years for book 4 and 6 years for book 5.
He frequently struggles with subtext, clumsy metaphors, clarity, consistency, etc. It's a credit to the world he's created that those issues don't take away from the enjoyment that can be found in his books. •. He has a fairly clean, transparent narrative voice too. But yes, he lacks subtext and frequently, nuance. George R.R. Martin on Writing Women. 563. 563 comments. Best. Add a Comment. GeeJo • 11 yr. ago. A corollary to this is to make the challenges female characters face human challenges and not just vagina-based challenges. In TV particularly, there's a marked tendency of lazy writers falling back (sooner or later) on the pregnancy/rape schtick.

He is completely delusional or extremely rude or even both. In time since he finished the last book we had the entire GoT show that lasted almost a decade, one failed pilot for spinoff show Bloodmoon, one season of House of the Dragon, while S2 is now in production and new GoT show - A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms being officially ordered.

Martin, Rothfuss, and Scott Lynch (the Gentleman Bastards books) are the trilogy of authors with long-delayed fantasy sequels. Actually, I was getting bored by the last book or two in Martin's series, and don't even worry about whether Winds of Winter will ever come out.
The nature of the work is completely different. That is the issue. You can't go to another author to get the ending of Martin's book series, at least not without Martin's agreement. It also is not a relationship with an employer who may have many employees and the ability to carry on and replace individual employees. They just aren't similar at
Martin is 70, and it’s fair to wonder if at his current pace he will actually ever finish the series that made him famous. At the earliest, it will be several years before the books are done
George R.R. Martin says 3 animated 'Game of Thrones' spinoffs are in the works. Nobody gives a shit. Finish the damn books. Naw, I'm pumped for this. Will they be released twenty years apart from each other? Don’t do spin offs, just redo the whole fucking show in animation. Exactly! I am willing to put money down if George R. R. Martin had wrote HP Sirius/Bellatrix would have happened. A lot of young angsty Sirius fanfics have him being force betrothed to various cousins, so, yeah, the Fandom definitely saw that Black family tree and superimposed incest storyline popularized by Martin. It’s unclear why Alaric and Talasyn are attracted to each other, and their tentative romance is just as stuck in a rut as the plot. Slow and plodding. 0. Pub Date: Oct. 3, 2023. ISBN: 9780063277274.

Guys He's already said he's a "perfectionist". I'm guessing he means in the real, debilitating sense, not the interview sense. Here's how I imagine it is going: He finished the first draft.
