Probably doesn't know how to end it, let alone tie everything together in a way that won't get him killed and cursed for eternity

What problem? He’s making money

What was Martin's writing plan?

>>17065455
HBO screwed him on the show so now he won't release the last books out of spite

>>17065455
What's the incentive at this point? Money, fame, glory, he already had them, and even if he published the end right now, he would never get them to a higher level than the one he reached at the height of this popularity. Some sarcastic, forgotten in a week newspaper footnotes would be his only reward.
We already know he won't write for pride, since he abandoned it all when he let D&D monstruosify his creation.

got paralyzed after falling out of a window man. Incredible musician though

He's fat, old, lazy, rich and a gluttonous pig, he's had the ending to his books spoiled in advance in the lamest possible way. If you were him, would you have any real reason to finish it? He probably wants to, but why the fuck would he. It's a lot of effort and it gets him nothing he doesn't already have.

He refuses to admit that his attempt to maintain diagetic realism is incompatible with the ending he envisioned

I went to a Worldcon and heard a bunch of stories about how he and his wife were super abusive assholes to the people assigned to be their free labor for the weekend. Yes, I know it was a bad idea to go to a Worldcon. Yes, everyone was weird including the people complaining.

Who has the drone webm of him jumping naked on a trampoline?

>>17065628
At least he will be remembered for a finished book series. Even if it will be a mediocre ending, it will be better than what we have now. Yes, he wont live very long to enjoy that anyway, but I would still want people to remember me in a positive light.

singles and he dies before finishing it

>>17065455
he's already cashed in more than he ever thought possible and now has no incentive to finish a series that has probably bored him for the better part of two decades

>>17065823
Have you seen him? He doesn't care what he's remembered for. He doesn't believe in anything.

>>17065803
i'll never unsee that

He is rich, old, and there are probably hot women who will suck his dick for no other reason than that he came up with game of thrones. And here you are, hating yourself at the prime of your life, having never experienced even a fraction of the pussy GRRM enjoys for conjuring such characters as Jon Snow into being. Publishing the next book of the song and ice and fire is just another way for him to make another million, an afterthought that hardly concerns him as he lives in such affluence that would make any Lannister blush. You await the scraps which expell from his dilapidated, stinky old asshole. And you will like it.

The fantasy famous author life should be left to the imagination.

>>17065455
Merenese knot, etc, etc.

All i know about this guy is that hot ass rape scene. how is this different from frodo and gollum

>>17066170
Not only are those women not hot but grrm is also a feminist and all his gfs have been hardcore feminists.

>>17065628
Some writers presumably write because they enjoy writing

>>17065455
"lol, architect writers are pathetic with all their planning. I'm, like, a more spiritual gardener type. I feel sorry for robots who don't have my intuition and emotions." - GRRM

>The fantasy famous author life should be left to the imagination.
I interact with many famous people and there is NO ONE more bitter than an average (i.e. ugly) man who achieves fame and fortune late in life when he is too old to truly enjoy it. Especially when he's married and knows he'd lose half his $ to wifey upon divorce.

>>17066598
Take the Bezos pill GRRM

>>17066598
desu if you have 100+ million then half of that is small price to pay to get rid of the old hag and get some 20 year old pussy

Tom Clancy divorced his wife for a hot young thing when he got rich and famous.

>>17066598
I've thought about that, it must be really shitty to get the status when you're too old to enjoy it.

>>17065455
He'll probably die of heart disease before he even starts writing the next book.

>>17065645
He should produce an album of songs with lyrics by Alan Moore

Worth a read?

I think the horrible reception of the last season of the show probably took the wind out of his sails. What little wind he had left.

Honestly, the show being shit is entirely his fault too. If he’d actually put out the books when he was supposed to, instead of releasing spin offs and writing blogs, D&D might have had something worthwhile to work from and could have made something that wasn’t complete and utter trite.

>>17066893
I find him to be enjoyable, his books are loaded with technical jargon but he breaks it down for the layman and the scenarios he outlines are fairly gripping. As far as genre fiction goes he’s always good for a read.

>>17065455
Books were secondary. Martin wanted to work on tv shows, not on novels. He said himself that he left to write because nobody could dictate what he makes and it would be all him without some producer sticking his nose in. He was pretty thrilled about the show being made and he even got to hire D&D himself, so everything was going swimmingly and he would never have to return to aSoIaF because he had GoT. Obviously, he lost control of the project and left seething. He refused to watch a single episode of GoT and hasn't written a chapter since.

>>17066893
It's not worth it as anything more than mindless entertainment. You might as well play video games instead.

>>17066903
Show went to shit before that. They condensed two seasons into one and deviated from the source material before they went out books to adapt. They really just wanted to start doing their own thing halfway through and it was a trainwreck.

i wonder how rothfuss feels about sanderson releasing 12 books, a bunch of novellas and finishing up wheel of time since he released wise man's fear

>>17065827
idk about bored but he'd definitely be out of it by now. probably doesn't remember his own characters to any depth.

>>17065916
I have no idea how he is going to wrap it all up in one more book.

Sanderson's popularity as an author rests entirely on his cult of personality as a "you can be a famous author like me" life coach. Try actually reading some of his books. Weak characterization - stereotypes with a few token quirks and flaws, sterile, mechanical magic systems, contrived, convenient plotting of the "there's a secret cave just between the city and the mines where we can train an army of 20.000 men"-variety, tired plot twists telegraphed so hard I can't believe the author thought he was being subtle - except his fanboys all recount being shocked and awed by the sudden developments. There is no discernable talent.
