I know and I've read the ones that appeal to me, some more than once. As I mentioned upthread I loved Dunk and Egg and I hope HBO gets their hands on it. I think it would translate well to TV.
Got it. I agree, everyone seemed to love the Hound and Arya in season four. Dunk and Egg would have a similar premise, though Dunk is very different from the Hound.

Right. That was my point with the 3-4 novels versus 7. I think he strayed from his original vision. He said he's always known how the story would end. I feel he's too caught up in the journey.
I get what you're saying here, but GRRM writes for the journey. His wife has said that if he started a story and thinks it all the way through, he'd never get around to writing it because it's no longer interesting to him. Very much in line with his gardener rather than architect approach to writing.
To be honest the reason people get so frustrated with his writing is because he does it gardening style, which is incredibly difficult to maintain control of.

The way I look at it, Martin is at the age where he is finally enjoying the fruits of his labor from the previous 30 years of writing. He's gone from fanboy-dom to mainstream popularity, and I would think that that would be a big deal to a writer's ego.
Nevertheless, I'd put money on it that he's currently playing everyone--he probably has everything wrapped up and finished, sitting in a vault somewhere.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)
