Just give up on the book. Even if he gets the Winds of Winter done, the rest will never follow. He seems to have found himself unable to focus on it. I imagine that between the backlash to the shows end, the attention and intense pressure that was put on him, and the constant complaints by shitty fans (cough) acting like they are entitled to his work and reminding him he’s going to die before finishing it if he doesn’t hurry up… I can’t imagine any of that makes him feel like working on it. He clearly loves the world and needs the creative outlet, which is why he keeps popping out novella after novella set in Westeros that no one asked for. But the fact that he’s not working on WoW feels like it just doesnt make him feel good to work on it anymore. And I cant fault the guy for not powering through like it is a book report due in the morning.
Jesus chill the fuck out. A) “Work ethic”. He’s a creative writer, not a district manager. B) He’s fucking 77 years old. C) He has written DOZENS of books over his career, and screenplays as well D) He’s not your fucking employee for you to yell at during his biannual performance review. Show me your bookshelf full of novels you have written and the awards you got for writing them, and then open your mouth. Otherwise, shut the fuck up, whiner.
Well I’m glad you are offended on his behalf. I also dont give a fuck what you think, and I can treat him like my shitty employee if I’d like too. So fuck off and have a nice day.

Hes a lazy piece of shit with a horrible work ethic. Hes not a writer anyone should emulate.

Thats how a petulant child acts, so sounds like the complaints aren’t unfounded.
You’re quite a grumpy character, eh?
I can be! Its morning now and I feel better. But also that guys still a dick.
That may be true, but he doesn’t work for you and doesn’t owe you anything.
Thats true! Thats also why I’m not suing him for defrauding me as an employer, I’m just shit-talking him on lemmy.
