| He updated! wow! he finally updated again. i check the site everyday, but i wasn't actually expecting an update. awesome. he's got 1300 pages thus far, and a few hundred more roughs. that's crazy, quite a long novel. at least for all this waiting we'll have a big, fat story to read. oh man, i can't wait. but i will, for much longer i'm sure, for even when he has it done, there is all that publishing crap to deal with. man oh man, i'm going to start rereading the first three soon. i'm all fidgity! |

 It looks like it'll be around 1600 manuscript pages when he's done which will be even bigger than Storm of Swords! Mmm... Fat GRRM book. =)It'll probably be done around the end of this year. Quote:

... as long as he does not lose his focus and let his story get out of control, ala Robert Jordan. Thankfully, the first three installments of Martin's series have been tightly plotted enough that I don't think there is a real danger of that happening. Even the subplots that have just sort of hung out there, hinting at looming danger, have continued to move forward rather than stagnate. Thus far Martin seems to have a good handle on what he wants to do with his story. I hopes he sticks to his guns with regard to the length of the series and does not cave in to financial pressure to keep ... it ... going ... and ... going ... | |

Martin won't touch that until the end of book 4, but it's clear that the dragon that lives under winterfell will become Bran's pet replacement. Last edited by Lacedaemonian; 3rd February 2005 at 02:31 AM. | |
