I'm starting to lose interest. It's hard to stay excited for years when aFfC sucked balls. *NM* Joker Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 03:29:08 AM

Dance, Dance, Dance

Oct. 6th, 2009 at 9:04 PM

Finished a Jon Snow chapter, and have just passed the 1100 page (manuscript pages, the page count in the final printed book will be different) mark on A DANCE WITH DRAGONS. That's counting only finished chapters in something close to final form. I have considerably more in partials, fragments, and roughs.

Even with just the finished portions, DANCE is now longer than A FEAST FOR CROWS and A GAME OF THRONES, and I'm closing in on A CLASH OF KINGS. I do hope I can wrap things up before I approach the 1521 page length of A STORM OF SWORDS.

Making a new run at the Meereenese knot, but maybe not tomorrow. I think I'll hang around at the Wall a bit longer, and maybe visit Winterfell.

Mood: pleased


at least there is progress?

It's coming down to the wire. Again. - 07/10/2009 12:39:09 PM 679 Views
Would anyone else besides myself gladly give up the TV series for faster completion of the books? - 07/10/2009 12:43:20 PM 583 Views
Nope. - 07/10/2009 01:04:36 PM 573 Views
Yes. - 08/10/2009 12:59:22 AM 520 Views
I don't see how that would be relevent. If they canceled he might get disheartened. - 08/10/2009 05:07:23 AM 615 Views
Better that he be disheartened for a few weeks than have him spend months on scriptwriting, etc. - 08/10/2009 11:55:25 AM 530 Views
Months? - 08/10/2009 04:46:35 PM 610 Views
You may be right. - 08/10/2009 06:04:38 PM 468 Views
Yup. - 08/10/2009 11:43:23 PM 525 Views
I'm also guessing this means there's little chance of resolving the cliffhangers from Feast. - 07/10/2009 05:34:39 PM 604 Views
That would be my guess. - 07/10/2009 07:47:15 PM 667 Views
I think I need an electronic reading device.... - 08/10/2009 05:06:09 AM 537 Views
Not to worry, they'll be cheap by the time this book comes out *NM* - 08/10/2009 05:40:55 PM 204 Views
At this rate, they'll be obsolete. *NM* - 08/10/2009 10:40:34 PM 220 Views
