The guy wrote a million different plotlines and now has to deal with figuring out what the fuck is going to happen. It's clear that he doesn't plan this shit out. The Mereenese Knot (or w/e it's called) is proof of this

Christard is trying to say that an Atheist thinks things through, considering everything, whereas the Theist wipes their butt on apiece of paper and prays that enough people are ignorant enough to mistake the feces for chocolate spread - so long as God rearranges the universe to make the that ignorant.

He stopped a long time ago. He's not finishing the series. It's grown boring for him.

LOOK, I'M DOING MY BEST, OKAY?! I just don't know where to go with it anymore.. there's too many things which could happen and too many people having grown attached to all the different characters and they all want their own storylines to play out and it'd mean writing five hundred more books to please everyone and each release would please no one.. and... sigh...

thanks for buying my books and enjoying the tv spinoffs

>> No.14911321

>>14911316
That's where you're mistaken. Martin knows everyone is done with the series. No one cares what his books may do that the show didn't. That's another reason he stopped. He knew once the show was done, ASOIAF was done.

>> No.14911350

>>14911321
well maybe.

I think it was a mistake to have taken the thing to TV 'before' it was finished; that's a lot of deadline stress on the creative juices.

He probably made more money getting optioned by HBO than he would've just selling books, so I doubt he's bummed.

In the digital age, if you're writing popular pulp fantasy, there really isn't any excuse for not taking advantage of the free crowdsourced machine plumbing the lore. His publisher ought to be doing this anyway, just to have more editorial clout when submission time comes.

There isnt anything that can take long. He wants nothing to do with people on here but knows they won't leave him alone. He tried to put a mirror in front of their face so maybe they would realize how fucked this site really is after trying time and time again to explain honestly how bad he was feeling. I think he's just angry at himself for still caring his much even though he knows his readers just wanna cause him harm and make him feel bad.

Has he deleted the blog where he said if he isn't finished by June 2020 we have permission to chain him to his desk?

He should just stop caring and move on as if he's not seeing the constant references to some trivial blown out of proportion things he wrote in the past, essentially proving what he feared every time he tries to look through social media.

>> No.14912262

>>14912260
Well, that seems hard, he should just stop using social media all together and go full analog, very romantic image that

>> No.14912267

>>14912262
But you can't expect someone to stop using social media in today's day and age, he's gonna feel even more isolated. That can't be the solution

>> No.14912283

>>14912267
Hmm, maybe you're right. For now I don't have any idea what's the best option for him, I can only imagine he feels stuck and doesn't know how to handle the situation at all. Maybe it's best to just leave him alone

from yesterday:
"For those of you who may be concerned for me personally… yes, I am aware that I am very much in the most vulnerable population, given my age and physical condition. But I feel fine at the moment, and we are taking all sensible precautions. I am off by myself in a remote isolated location, attended by one of my staff, and I’m not going in to town or seeing anyone. Truth be told, I am spending more time in Westeros than in the real world, writing every day. Things are pretty grim in the Seven Kingdoms… but maybe not as grim as they may become here."

Shelley's good, but not a strong example in this argument. Someone could spit back Blake and then it becomes a matter of taste (in which many are sure to speak insincerely out of desire to prove a point).
