I feel bad for neglecting this thread as I lose myself in true detective.
You True Detective fanboys need to remember that Got starts in 47 days.
Anyway, check out this article:
GRRM has over 1000 pages written but "it'll be done when I'm done"
quote:
"It is great that so many people are eager for the next book and certainly these are the people who are paying my bills and allowing me to have a house across the street from my other house. But at the same time, sometimes I just wish they would stop pressuring me about it. It will be done when it's done. I'm working on it. I don't know what else I can say: I'm a slow writer, I've always been a slow writer, and these are gigantic books."
He says that he has written over a thousand pages and is still working on it.
...If George was such a slow writer then why were the first 3 books out within 4 years of each other, and the last 2 took 11 years??

Fan boys? I'm pretty sure I saw you in that thread.
If I wasn't so bogged down with other things I'd get my reread and notes finished. I'm hand writing them, so once done there I'll type and put them in PDF for all to share. That way I can quit neglecting this thread. I have this one theory I'm working on but not enough evidence to support it yet. But once I do I think I might have cracked ole George's code.

He won't be able to fit everything he wants into book 6 so he'll spill over into book 7 and add a book 8
Guaranteed.

Why would you need houses across the street from each other?

Maybe because with every 1000+ page book, he is adding in quite a few more details that must be taken into account in the editing of the next book a) to make sure there are as few continuity errors as possible, b) to make sure they everything makes sense in the rather specific narrative that he is concocting, and c) the pressure to not let the storyline be disappointing to his fans keeps ratcheting up.
If you haven't noticed, the fans of these books are a bit OCD when they come to picking them apart. I just hope that GRRM can still write the story he was always planning on writing before he had 50000+ fan theories crowding his mind.
