In all seriousness, although part of me is feeling like CHarlie brown about to try to kick the football, this is VERY exciting news. he sounds VERY optimistic and really up, a far cry from where he was a few months ago. GO GEORGE

So, 2010 will be the year of the Dragon? Actually, I think it's the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar.

The year of the Dragon won't be until 2012, but who's superstitious?

I think you just gave Martin another excuse.

Syphon of Oor-Tael · 25th June 2009, 04:37 PM

Damn you, Imp! Also, that's not superstition. It's zodiacology. Or whatever.

FYI, I'm a Fire Tiger.

i meant that a superstitious person might beleive that with 2012 being the year of the Dragon the book might be 'destined' to be published in that year

Not to be taken as an excuse for GRRM, but it's said that the world ends with 2012 (bullcrap, of course, the Aztecs couldn't count to 2013)

TK-421 · 23rd July 2009, 08:49 PM

Isn't that the subject of the latest disaster flick with Nick Cage called 2012?

Werthead · 27th July 2009, 08:59 PM

In this case, not a GRRM update but one from his editor, Anne Groell:

ADWD currently consists of over 1,000 'locked' manuscript pages which ain't getting changed again. GRRM has 'several hundred' more in various stages of completion, some for ADWD and some for the next book. She anticipates receiving the book in October or November, and if that happens she thinks Bantam can get it out by March 2010. The UK might get it a month earlier.

TK-421 · 27th July 2009, 09:05 PM

I like what I am hearing Wert. Thanks for the update.

Boaz · 28th July 2009, 05:17 PM

Thanks, Wert. Mayhaps HBO should cast you as one of the acolytes of the Citadel... you just fetch stuff and relay information... you're just so good at it.

I'll be ordering it from UK Amazon and ponying up the international shipping. I'll get it somehow!
