I still don't think that the post was meaningless. The end must be near for him. He must have reached some critical point, or came up with some big idea that'll help him with the book. He said he's months away and I (cautiously) believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philokles Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If 0% and 100% are equally wrong then he must be at 50%. 6 years to get this far so 2023 it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCK Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Has he even started Fire & Blood yet? I'm not sure what to make of his last sentence or two either. Does he think he'll really be done next year or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valyirian Aurochs Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 According to Google Quixotic means: exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical. Why is he sending another mixed message? Does he believe in a 2018 release date, or is he being unrealistic? Today is the day that I stop over-analyzing his blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those were heavily abridged and awkwardly edited for those anthologies. He has said he wrote around 60,000 words on the Dance itself.

PCK Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 At this point, he should consider just releasing chapters individually on iTunes, Amazon etc. He'd make more money and we'd get more of the story. The story clearly became too broad. The first three books focused on the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, and the last Targaryen. 4 & 5 are about Starks, Lannisters, the last Baratheons, the last Targaryens, the Tyrells, the Martells, the Greyjoys, Brienne, and now Aegon & the Golden Company.

I have long thought that would be cool. Maybe a chapter in every other issue of Azimov's Science Fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divica Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 honnestly, I am desapointed. I have no idea why he did the post... And he is seriously writing fire and blood instead of finishing asoif? I could understand him taking a lot of time to write a book, but him deciding to write other books while he is super late to release winds? I can only imagine how his publisher must feel... by his comments his objective was to end the book by 2015, they appointed several dates for him to delliver the manuscript and nearly 2 years later he his still saying he is months away?

Meera of Tarth Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 for some reason I'm always positive with winds but I'm getting a little tired. I thought it would be released this Christmas. Now I think what if it is in the first months of 2018? But then that's the most positive interpretation. If Fire ends up being written first....then he said the other, winds, would be very unlikely released the samr year. So 2018 or 2019 now. And all that depends on Fire and Blood. I don't understand why it ahould be released first. I think he could write it, but finish it before Winds? Pf..... I started this series after watching GOT until its forth season....and thought that I could read all or almost all the books before continuing watching the show. Thr only books I read before watching the show were feast and Dance and the adaptation turn out to be unsatisfying for me. I thought i could read Winds at least before season 8. Now it's not that clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninerings Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Why he would think that anyone wants Wild Cards or Fire and Blood before tWoW KNOWING that he is writing that stuff instead is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
