If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I can't. Seth is waiting for me. He just keeps chuckling in a self-deprecating way and wanting me to smoke a joint with him.

I have to stay in this thread. Stories don't end here. It's safe.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
I still believe there will be something called "The Winds of Winter" poo poo out by the publisher just in time for the final season in a year. It will be 75% complete without a real ending, and considering that the first 33% will be stuff that was cut from ADOD, it will effectively be 50% of a new book. That's it though, there will be nothing after that.

yeah I think this is what we will see released before the end of the Show. but that might even be wishful thinking. I used to think his publisher would ship something _no matter what_ before the show ended, but I'm not as sure now. Part of me thinks we are still 2-3 years out on the next book ( assuming his normal writing schedule - maybe even worse considering his distractions) . And of course part of me knows he'll die before then.

I think the show handled the Dorne problem very elegantly. Just kill everyone off and drop the entire region and it's influence from the story.

I really do wonder how much power his publisher has over him at this point. It was a different situation before the show, obviously, when he was selling waterlogged copies of old books that he still had in his garage online. I wonder if now he just has so much money from so many sources that they're just a blip on his radar and they know it.

Going off of publicly known circumstances I think the timeline goes like this:

1. Books 1-3 drop in quick succession. He had no hype with the first one. Appreciation and critical success really started to swell by Book 3.

2. Having finished the main story he seemed to actually want to tell (Tyrion has Daddy issues), he wanted to reset the board with a time jump....But made the classic blunder every other fantasy author makes and foregoes telling a story in lieu of making everything "make sense."

3. Having become a critical and commercial darling, his publishers made the classic blunder handlers sometimes make and gave GRRM way too long a leash .

They didn't insist on an editor to tell him "We only need two chapters on Brienne. We only need three chapters on Cersei. Why is Bran still so far from his destination? Give me your broad strokes outlines so we can figure out who to focus on and who to scale back."

4. They realized their mistake when the show was due in a few years, Book 5 was four years past its promised date, and by the time the show was set to premiere to massive hype the new book didn't even have a finished ending.

5. The show was a hit, GRRM got an avalanche of cultural blowjobs from the new fandom, and hasn't needed the book money so he has even less incentive to work on them.

6. The world has slowly woken up to the realization that GRRM is a fat, lazy boob, but it's far too late.

7. GRRM runs out of easy money and actually buckles down to finish the books? Haha no. He's gonna go to conventions and eat unhealthy things until he has a heart attack in some Holiday Inn Suite in Washington State.

We all saw this coming, but there used to be a cottage industry of horse race pieces on various news outlets eagerly speculating on when and how GRRM was going to be able to possibly finish the last two books before the show bigfooted him. Those instantly dried up the moment the Night King showed up on screen for the first time because people suddenly got it: "if" instantly became "did". The show did beat him to it and everything from that moment on, even though there was still like chunks of Feast and Dance left to get through on screen, was officially in post-GRRM territory.

It wasn't long after that that GRRM publicly said "Yes, I've told D&D all the big plot points and how I picture things ending," with the stated reason at the time of "in case I get hit by a truck and can't write the last two books" actually being a cover for "so they can finish it on their own."
