I wish I could trade places with him, I could use the cash, and Im already a loser and a screw up. Joking aside, people get too hung up about the legacy or whatnot. Just write the book, the details / endless tinkering will not change the core/jist/essential message of the book. What seems funny about the Rothfuss situation is that it doesn't seem likely that he has the idea about the essential message of the book, unlike GRRM who presumably has the idea, but is too worried about all the little frilly details that he wants to come out just so. That's why I relish every news about Rothfuss getting into hot water, but want to encourage GRRM to just relax and send what he has to editing. (Then again, this could all be just GRRM having more experience and the ability to make people sympathise with him)

and well oberyn being called the viper and all that.
