The guy does have a life you know? How would you like to sit in a room by yourself day in and day out with people not thanking you for your efforts but complaining that you're taking far too long and that you're lazy among other things

I think it's nice that he's taking time to work on the TV series and give interviews and attend cons, I'd be a little worried and disappointed if he wasn't to be honest

I wouldn't want such a great author to be kept in a cage until his imagined debt to society has been payed in full

 

I'm sure this has been linked before somewhere but here it is again: George R. R. Martin is not your bitch

 

I'm glad you like his books

I like them too

While you're waiting for the next one why don't you try a new book?

I'd recommend Eye of the Dragon by Stephen King

Nice fantasy and all wrapped up in one book

Re: GRRM and the TV show - his involvement is not all that great. He writes one episode per season, and consults on casting decisions. Otherwise, the show runners may consult him about the plan for the future novels to make sure their storyline decisions don't diverge too drastically from where the books are going. And obviously he goes to awards ceremonies and conventions every so often.

 

The TV show isn't really sucking up that much of his time, and as already pointed out, his time is... well, his time. I'm grateful that he uses as much as he does to share this world of his imagination with us.

Wow, way to step on someone. I was just pointing out how long its taking between books. I'm not being ungreatfull for the time he spends writting them. I never complaind about rj or sanderson taking to long to get a book out, but then they never put a note in the back that said comming relly relly soon and then dident either though. That wasther then spend my whole day my only real complaint. And yes compadred to what I do now I would rather sit locked in a room at a computerinsted of staring at the back side of a welding mask all day

Across the sea, Daenerys, her three young dragons and khalasar trek through the Red Waste in search of allies, or water.

I thought people in this thread might be interested in this. GRRM was in Toronto recently and did a talk at the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) Bell Lightbox. Unfortunately I didn't get tickets, but fortunately the talk is now on youtube. I haven't watched all the parts and don't know if there are spoilers, so if you haven't read all the books you might want to proceed with caution.

 

In Conversation With... George R. R. Martin on Game of Thrones

 

Prior to the premiere of Season Two of HBO Canada's Game of Thrones, #1 New York Times bestselling author George R.R. Martin — creator of the epic saga A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for the hit series — appears on stage at TIFF Bell Lightbox to discuss his inspirations, his plans for future novels in the Ice and Fire cycle, and the series' transition from page to screen.

 

(Warning! He does a reading from Winds of Winter in the last 10 minutes of this one, so avoid that if you don't want it spoiled!)
