I'm scared. What if it's good again and I don't want to wait any longer? It's all taking so long!

I had a look on his blog, what is the guy doing?! He should be shut in his office for chrissakers, not galavanting!

Anyway, thought I'd share, haven't read it yet but will do.

What did you think Madam? I really enjoyed it. This is my favourite preview chapter so far Grin

My (rather bitter) guess is that he is writing much faster than we think. It is however possibly the best ever selling book series. He also seems to publish a lot in anthologies which is quite nice as he shares the limelight with perhaps less well-known authors. Which is awful for my purse. I spend a fortune on pre-ordering it, devour GRRM's chapter in a few hours, then get addicted to the other authors as well.

Have you seen the new novelette he is going to publish as well? grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html Prince Daemon Targaryen is my favourite character, so I really cannot wait.

It was good! I really hoped the next book was going to come out this year but fat chance it seems..
I should have held out till he'd written them all. Ah well.

I'll have a look at that novelette as well, thanks!

November 2015 it seems...

Hopefully the World book comes out before then.

I haven't read any of the sample chapters, I might do a bit closer to the release date. Was it a good one ? I heard there is a very controversial Sansa chapter.

What if he dies before he finishes writing it?!

Arya The controversial Sansa chapter has not been realeased yet. There were Theon, Arianne, Barristan, Mercy, Tyrion and Victarion chapters released so far. (I probably missed things.) I liked Mercy best, but I love the character who is Mercy (I do not want to spoil it for you.) A lot of them are about Mereen.

I need to know what happens in the battle in the ice.

Home We have to pray for him every day... Or better even pray TO him.

LOL Gingercat.
I don't think he's God but he might be a reincarnation of Charles Dickens. Only he died before finishing Edwin Drood....
