Darth Richard II Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I always thought he worked on more than one, I thought book five was actually partially written? Or I may be thinking of when he had to change the ending in 3 because of something in 4? I dunno I'm grumpy this week. At least he isn't hosting D&D podcasts and playing Overwatch.

I don't think it has anything to do with his progress, but is a jab at another author who caused some drama in the Romance writer's community. Some relatively unknown Romance writer trademarked the word "cocky" and is now threatnening other writers who use it in the title of their books with a lawsuit. https://the-digital-reader.com/2018/05/05/cockygate-faleena-hopkins-has-registered-a-trademark-on-cocky-and-is-using-it-to-threaten-other-romance-authors/ Here is also a twitterthread explaining the issue: Scott's twee reads like he is making fun of this by claiming he will trademark a phrase that pretty much every writer uses at some point.

I’m not in on the inner workings of the writers guild or Romance novels in general, so it makes more sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why, you may ask yourself, is a writer who’s been in a frustrating shell for a while dealing with a long-term project suddenly busting his ass to spruce up his communications, online presence, neglected responsibilities, etc. in the next month or two? Heh. Interesting question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I know he's basically Lucy with the football but dammit I want to believe and will keep believing 'cause it's coming from a view point of hopefulness on his part not cynicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he has decided to - or been advised to - work on easier, smaller projects in order to build a sense of achievement and momentum for the project that he is struggling to complete. I think it unlikely that he is able to complete multiple projects at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baxus Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Glad to hear he's feeling better. Keeping my fingers crossed he sorts his problems out and can get back to "normal" life as soon as possible. If that happens to include Thorn of Emberlain (and more Gentleman Bastards books) being published that would be great. If not, we'll find some other books to read. We can always enjoy rereading currently published Gentleman Bastards books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLoLL was a fantastic, quick read. TRoT on the other hand was much longer and really dragged along. Do I recall correctly that Scott has said that he will only have flashbacks in the odd numbered books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
