nece to objaviti na neblogu, nego na sajtu u sekciji ice&fire update. koja eto nije updateovana vise od godinu dana maj ne zvuci nerealno, ali ko zna...ne zna ni on, to je problem.

Moguce da ceka da mu se snimi ona serija ili makar neke epizode, pa da krenu u promociju i knjige i serije...Jeste da je seriajl vec dovoljno poznat i citan ali izgleda da Martin i ekipa pokusavaju da izvuku maksimum maksimuma u ekonomskom smislu. Naravno tu je i cinjenica da je prilicno naporno i tesko pratiti sve te likove i da treba dosta vremena da se usklade price i doteraju detalji a kad na to dodamo da Martin pise i druga dela i uz sve to zivi svoj zivot... pa normalno je sto Ples ne izlazi vec 100 godina.

Ja mu držim palčeve da ne jede previše masna jela kombinovano sa nerviranjem oko glupog američkog fudbala.

ok, ovo mi se ne sviđa nimalo. Ne samo činjenica da mu DwD izgleda uopšte nije prioritet, nego kaže da će Suicide Kings izaći tek krajem 2009. ili početkom 2010. a već je završena knjiga, i prosleđena na štampanje(i lekturu?). Znači, verovatno je jako optimistično očekivati DwD pre 2011.

Na ne-blogu pise da misli da ce da zavrsi do juna...

No, it's not done.

Yes, I am aware that more than a year has passed since my last update. A lot of you have been emailing me to point that out. Thanks, but really, I did know. Unlike many of you out there, I got my copies of the Song of Ice & Fire calendar, so I knew what date it was.

No, I'm not planning to update the update, for reasons stated in the update itself. Until such time as I can write, "It's done," it will remain the last update... aside from what I may say here from time to time, on my Not-A-Blog.

I made a lot of progress on the book in the first half of 2008. So much so that I was optimistic that I would be done by the end of the year. Unfortunately, I did not make much progress on the book in the second half of 2008. Indeed, I made some regress. (That Sansa chapter I talked about finishing, for instance. It's still finished, but my editor and I decided it belongs in THE WINDS OF WINTER, not A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, so it's been moved into the next book. Sansa will not appear in DANCE.)

Some of the reasons were literary, arising from problems in the narrative itself. I'm not going to discuss them here, because I really do not like talking about questions I am still wrestling with on a work in progress. It never helps. Art is not a democracy, and these are problems I need to solve myself. Having a few hundred readers weigh in with their thoughts and opinions -- which seems to be what happens whenever I post here about DWD -- does not advance the process. I'm sorry, but that's true. I know that many of you would like to help me, but you can't. I have editors and I have two capable assistants, and that's sufficient. I'm the only one who can dance this dance.

Some of other reasons for the delay have nothing to do with the book itself. They're extra-literary, arising from other things in my life. I could sketch out some of them here, sure, but what good would it do? Those who are inclined to understand would send me messages of sympathy and support. Those are not so inclined would dismiss them as "excuses," or even "feeble excuses." A few will even go so far as to accuse me of lying.

That's the part that really bothers me. For the record, I have never lied about anything having to do with A DANCE WITH DRAGONS or the series as a whole. I have been wrong, yes. I have been wrong lots of time, especially when I've tried to predict how long it will take me to complete the book, or when it will be published. Being wrong is not the same as lying. Since the very beginning of this series, I have been guilty of being over-optimistic about how long it would take me to finish the next book, the next chapter, or the series as a whole. I cannot deny that. I have always been bad with deadlines... one reason why I did my best to avoid them for the first fifteen years of my career. That's an option I no longer have, however. Or at least will not have until A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE is complete.

That's the main reason why I no longer want to give any completion dates. I am sick and tired of people jumping down my throat when I miss them.

This latest flood of emails has worn down my resolve, however. So in hopes of quieting it, once more I will step into the breach --
I am trying to finish the book by June. I think I can do that. If I do, A DANCE WITH DRAGONS will likely be published in September or October.

(Yes, I am aware that I have previously said that I hoped to finish by the end of 2008. And before that, I said that I hoped to finish by June 2008, before I went to Spain and Portugal. And before that, I said I hoped to finish by the end of 2007. I know, I know, I know. No, I was not lying. I was wrong. And wrong again. And wrong before that. This time I hope that I am right. But you know, I can't swear that in blood. I write one chapter at a time. One page at a time. One word at a time. And then the next.)

That's all I have. But it's more than Amazon has, or anyone else.

The INSTANT that I finish the novel and put it in the mail to Bantam, I will post that fact here, just as I did for SUICIDE KINGS a few days ago. Until and unless you read that announcement here, believe nothing you hear from any other source.

Evo svega sa ne-bloga. Valjda će jednom proceniti kako treba, red bi bio.

Što se mene tiče, neko može da bude u nestrpljivom iščekivanju only so long...onda prelaziš u ono "nja.."

[Egon Zmaj]

Ma samo da on zavrsi serijal, a da pre toga ne lipse. A kada bude bilo bice. I mene je odavno prosla groznica. Cak se i ne secam kada sam zadnji put sa nekim o serijalu razgovarao. Tako je i bolje.
