What else does he write?

These pointless stories set in the same universe. I think he's hit a writers block and won't admit it

It's not the easiest thing to do imo.

Dude has been writing his entire life and has written one of the most popular series of all time. You and the other twats complaining about how fast he writes should calm the frick down. He's a professional. He knows what he's doing. I'd rather him wait and take his time writing something good than produce something shitty just to please impatient fans.

Pretty sure this was something that he had already written for World of Ice and Fire and had to cut it but wanted to release the story so he's doing it here

Go look how fast Robert Jordan wrote Wheel of Time and get back to me

Nope. I agree that he has writer's block or he's just over it since HBO is ahead of him.

News flash baw: writers write at different speeds. I know that's shocking. 
Posted on 2/4/17 at 10:15 am to TheOcean
More likely he has writers block
Posted on 2/4/17 at 10:16 am to GermantownTiger
Probably. I'm just sick of everyone bitching about it. Let the dude write. He'll finish it when he does

26 years is a long time with 2 more books to go
He should have left it a trilogy. That's where he lost his way IMO.

Well he could die like Robert Jordan as German suggests. And then not finish when he finishes.
Posted on 2/4/17 at 10:23 am to GermantownTiger
No. He won't.

I've waxed and waned over whether or not I actually expect him to finish them. I think TWOW is substantially done, but he's going to tweak, edit and perfect every chapter before he lets it go. That is part of what slows him down - his other interests are a big part of it, as is writer's block (all but conceded by now), but as he evolved - I mean you can see it from GOT to the last two - he's just a much older, more methodical writer. And, this meticulousness is not making the finished product any better, IMHO, although he may think it is more polished and thorough.

WOT just rambles on and on with so little development. Does not compare to ASOIAF

I could not agree more. I also wonder when the GoT finale airs if he'll feel less compelled to finish. IIRC they will have the same ending but different storylines leading up to it.
On another note I really enjoyed his Dunk and Egg novellas and I hope the rumors of HBO picking them up for a spin off are true.

That's a book? fricking nerd, reading is for losers.

He should try typing it then.
