Image is actually accurate, he's clearly not on a word processor.

I guess is a contractual thing, cause I'd love him if he just came out and said, 'gently caress you all, i'm living the life, yolo' Rothfuss is a whole different story, unless GRRM has actually scammed charities.

I take it back I’d just get someone to ghostwrite it and take all the credit. gently caress actually doing any of the writing.

Yeah honestly if I was grrm I'd just have had it ghostwritten eight years ago. Though maybe that's what he's been doing, and he hasn't been happy with the four ghostwritten TWoWs he has received since and/or hasn't gotten around to beta reading it.

Ty is too expensive now after the Expanse, and the westeros.org nazis tried it with TWOIAF which no one liked and cmon, you can't expect George to keep up with the lore.

It's whatever, the tv show had its moment and flubbed the landing. Rothfuss deserves all the vitriol he gets for trying to gaslight his fans with every lovely zoom video he posts.

At this point, Preston Jacobs should just finish the drat books himself. At least Preston is, to my knowledge, not a Nazi, and insane theories aside seems like an otherwise decent dude.

Jokes on us. GRRM has an army of ghostwriters chained up in his basement, constantly churning out new books. He has thousands by now, all of them completely unread. Whenever a writer finishes, they’re entombed alive to die clutching another, unique copy of The Winds of Winter. Hearing the soft, tweedy scratching of a Hartwick creative writing BA trying to get out of the crawl space is the only way he can get to sleep at night.

George R. R. Martin is one of the very few writers slower than Jacobs’ crowdsourcing effort.

Preston clearly understands where the plot should go. The chapters he's realised don't seem leagues above the source stuff in terms of dialogue /

Hey when did he get an actual computer? I thought he was still using an ancient word processor (as of like... 7 years ago but whatever)
