A Feast for Crows Update.

From George RR Martin's webpage:

I said that I hoped to have the book done by the end of the year. Famous last words. No, it's not done, though I am getting closer. I have more than thirteen hundred pages in final draft form and another hundred or so in roughs or fragments, but there are still some chapters yet to write. I'm telling myself that I'm on the home stretch. As soon as FEAST as done, I will announce it here.

Yawn...

Oh, did he say something that actually means anything? No? Well, wake me when he does.

Same old crap.

I love the books so far, but five (going on six) years between entries in a series is unacceptable.

Yeah same old same old. However, I do appreciate that Martin is taking his time to ensure quality. I dearly hope that after the wait we dont wind up with a book where the central action is a character takes a bath, and debates what to have for diner for a couple of chapters..(cough Jordan cough cough).

Besides it is hard work trying to decide what character you want to kill, all of us DMs know that

 

[KenM]

My main concern with the books is that I hope GRRM has not become a perfectionist to the point of loosing quiality. If this turns into another Wheel of Time, i'm dropping it quick.

I like his books, I really do but...GAH. Maybe he should put out SMALLER volumes if it's going to take this long to put out the next in the series?

1300 pages to cover five years he was going to skip over originally. I don't mind long books, but this is getting crazy.

I imagine that will be much smaller when it gets into book form. For one thing, I bet it's double spaced to allow for writing corrections and things.

That's manuscript size. I bet that it'll be 'Storm of Swords' size when it's done and compressed into book form.

I concur.
