I did start! I've written 1331 words today.
I'm writing a short story about a man who has been a "university student" for 25 years without even completing a bachelor's degree. He has not worked a day in his life, is 43, still lives with his mother and suffers from a rare genetic condition that leaves him with a deformity in his right foot that he uses as an excuse for a sedentary lifestyle.
The story is told in first person by a journalist who interviews him after he (unsuccessfully) tried to sue the university for discrimination.

Hail to King George, the first of his name, king of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, lord of the seven kingdoms, and protector of the realm.

Leave Tolkien to me

Are you ready to take his 3,000 page, 4 volume whopper?

Pseuds hate him. How does he do it?

Kneel.

Will he ever release Winds of Winter?

Will he ever deliver?

This is unironically better than anything GRRM has written (jklol) in the last seven years.

You have to admit, he has a friendly face and avuncular demeanor. Seems like he'd be entertaining to talk to.
It's a shame he's such a degenerate pervert with terrible work ethic. He could have written something truly great. Instead, his middling "epic" will never be finished, and be but a footnote of literary history (due solely to the TV show).
I mean, say what you want about King, at least that fucker writes

ouch, anon

>"I am spending long hours every day on The Winds of Winter, and making steady progress. I finished a new chapter yesterday, another one three days ago, another one the previous week. But no, this does not mean that the book will be finished tomorrow or published next week. It's going to be a huge book, and I still have a long way to go ... I have bad days, which get me down, and good days, which lift me up, but all in all I am pleased with the way things are doing."
So in other words he is still stuck in the weeds of meandering through every possible happening involving every single character.
