The dude has pretty much the whole world just screaming at him to hurry up and finish writing his series. Yet, he's off doing everything under the sun except for writing them. You gotta give it to him. He is living his life. He is not beholden to what everyone else wants him to be doing, he just does what he wants. It's highly respectable. --- Your face looks like I need a beer. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Haven't read the books and have zero emotional investment in getting the next one. But as an author, if I release book 1 in a series, it's an informal commitment to anyone who buys it that there will be sequels/a conclusion. They are buying an incomplete product based on the assurance that it will eventually be complete. Can't say I respect leaving them hanging like he has. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro ... Copied to Clipboard!

Its hard to really be that upset at GRRM. I imagine he doesn't have the slightest idea how to tie the story together either, and after seeing how bad the reception was to the show (that GRRM like, gave notes for or an outline or something like that IIRC after they ran out of books) that it might just not be worth bothering to try and finish, since its kind of impossible to live up to the hype. ...
