... which probably means I should be working on another Jon Snow chapter, but I'm not.

Instead I'm floating off the Isle of Cedars, or racing across the sands of Dorne. Warm places, both of them, with nary a flake to be seen. But I'd better not change horses. If I keep on keeping on, I should finish one of those chapters this week. Maybe both.

As Batty would say: "I am disbelieving." ;)

Amazon.uk tried to suck me into pre-ordering ADWD a couple of months back. I said, "Oh ho, do you think I was born yesterday?" and promptly deleted the e-mail.

(Nice sig, btw, danlo!)

i'm a believer. i think it'll happen (the finishing of the series) and i don't think it'll be that 'god i have to finish this before some jerk mows me down on the highway' finish that was The Dark Tower either. :biggrin:

He knew I was finally reading the series and didn't want to disappoint me... I'm approaching the end of ASoS, so by the time I finish Crows, he hopes to have the next book out for me. Yeah... that's surely it!

ADWD should be out by the end of the year, I'm convinced of it. What a good week this is, a really nice man sold me a timeshare yesterday and today I have read this excellent news!

Yes, it is a good week. I got 5 separate emails yesterday, with offers from foreign dignitaries offering to pay me a substantial sum of money if I would help them move some money around. I should be able to retire now!! *






* I will probably be retiring about the time ADWD finally comes out

Amazon is predicting 2012.

That's a heck of a long wait.

1261 and counting?! Please oh please do not let this become another AFFC!

Haha his last official update on ADWD was January 1, 2008.
And now the book that is supposedly the second half of AFFC has grown to 1200+ pages? That just means that after he's done writing, he's going to start rewriting and editing from the beginning for another 5 years. No wait, that's too optimistic.

March 2nd
On other fronts, I hit page 1311 yesterday. No, not done yet.

For some reason, got nothing written today.

I fixed it for George.

I believe GRRM is referring to this.

He's gonna split it. He'll just keep splitting every book like some giant atom until he dies. Then the series will go nowhere, like Wheel of Time. Ah, such promise too.

Lord Foul,

Actually, at a reading in Chicago he was quoted as saying "Soon" with regard to ADWD. We've heard it before but I'm hopeful.

'Soon' on what scale? Him finishing the entire series? Then it could be years from now.

I understand, I mean to say that 'soon' is such a relative concept.
