George R. R. Martin, y u take so long to write your books?

[Have to pee LOL BRB]

srsly. it took 6 years to write A Dance with Dragons, I don't think I'll be able to wait for the new one. ;c

Maybe by the time he finishes The Winds of Winter HBO will be ready for the 7th season (I'm saying 7th instead of 6th because GRRM mentioned on his blog that the 3rd season of GoT will probably only cover the beginning of the 3rd book).

One reason I'm not in a rush to finish book 5....because there's a long wait after it. neutral Thankfully I have a massive stack of other books to read.

I tried my hardest to read A Feast for Crows. I tried, but I just couldn't do it. It's like he used all of his creative talent on all of his other books (currently written), then had a 2-year-old write it.

Im pretty sure he held onto the book to time its release with the show. i had been waiting for it too.

He knows, he just wanted more sales.

He doesn't give out definite time lines because he really doesn't want to hear the complaining. According to his website there is a tentative 3-yr date for the finishing of his 6th book. I'm not holding my breath and will wait until it comes out. There are more than enough books to read until it does come out.

I think he should take all the time in the world if that's what he needs. I'd rather wait for a long time and have a satisfyingly good book to read, rather than not wait at all and just be given trash.

[ApocalypticSaint]

Would you prefer that he writes a 400+ page book that took a year and is total s**t? He can take his time if it means that I can read a great book.

[The Amazing Arya]

It takes so long, because GRRM vision of the story is so detailed and long...... and the fact that he tell so much of the story....

SOFAI was meant to be a trilogy..... it is currently looking to be 7 books.... but who know.

The next book should be released quicker than the 6 years it took for Dances as he has a good amount already written (ie, chapters that were planned for Dances, but pushed to the next book due to Dances getting too long)

I love the story, so I'm willing to wait so that it can be told in the best way.

[Elyria Stone]

I know! I don't think i can stand it!

I'm afraid at this pace, he's going to die before the series is finished sweatdrop

If you're really needing another fix, there are two short ASOIAF novellas in "Legends" and "Legends II", edited by Robert Silverberg. And yeah, I know quality takes time and I'd rather he write the book his way, but still.... it's like waiting for Christmas for years!
