![]() ![]() We discussed some of them last spring, as the fifth season of the HBO series was winding down, and came up with a plan. My publishers and I have been cognizant of these concerns, of course. But with season 6 of GAME OF THRONES approaching, and so many requests for information boiling up, I am going to break my own rules and say a little more, since it would appear that hundreds of my readers, maybe thousands or tens of thousands, are very concerned about this question of 'spoilers" and the show catching up, revealing things not yet revealed in the books, etc. "It will be done when it's done." Which is what I have been doing, more or less, since. I suppose I could just say, "Sorry, boys and girls, still writing," and leave it at that. I always do a lot of rewriting, sometimes just polishing, sometimes pretty major restructures. Sometimes it doesn't.) Chapters still to write, of course. But there's also a lot still left to write. (Those 'no pages done' reports were insane, the usual garbage internet journalism that I have learned to despise).

My editors and publishers are disappointed, HBO is disappointed, my agents and foreign publishers and translators are disappointed. You're disappointed, and you're not alone. You won't like it.īelieve me, it gave me no pleasure to type those words. But inevitably that brings me to my own personal "worst of times," and that is considerably less fun to blog about, so do forgive my reluctance to do so. I've spent much of the day recreating (in Cliff's Note summaries) my own personal "best of times" from the previous year, all the wonderful things that went down for me in 2015, the awards and the publications and the bestseller lists, the cons and the parties, the travel, all the exciting new projects underway at HBO and right here down the street in Santa Fe. GrrmThe last post from the Lost Post, and the one you've all been waiting for.īack when this was one long long long post, before Live Journal sent it to the cornfield, I mentioned opening with Dickens' line, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
