GRRM is such a garbage human being. Write the rest of the actual books before you write the silmarillion you colossal bearded glacier

Is it bad if I kind of hope he dies before he finishes? Or at least not be sad?

yeah because then some other ass hat is going to finish them posthumously and they're going to suck but you know you are going to read them anyway and feel terrible afterward

I'm on his side. The discussion is pretty distasteful.

He shouldn't be such a sour-assed whiny old bitch fascist about it.  He's old and fat and takes rough ridin' forever to write books, of course people are going to talk and speculate.

"Oooh I'm all old and fat and sour-assed, don't remind I am mere moments from dying ooooh" says GRRM.  "Disgusting" says me.

I worry he'll die and burn all his notes on his death bed leaving us with nothing more than fan fiction for an ending, but I worry more that his grumpy old ass will eff up the ending if he gets there just to piss everyone off

I get the feeling that if he does finish it, it's going to go out super loose butthole.

I read a thing online a week or so ago about when the next book comes out.  There is obvsly still no official date, but some nerd took the time to look at GRRM's blog, correlate his daily mood postings, and compare that to the last three or so books timeline for ramp up, release, etc and he argues that everything is pointing to a release very soon.  He then went on to calc out the words per day production of the last several books and chart that.  He has a chart that shows the book coming out as early as late summer this year, to fall 2017. 

In summary, it is pretty crazy the amt of time some nerds have on their hands.

I think that is apparent just by reading his posts that he has canceled a couple of comic con-type appearances and has opted out of writing an episode of Season 5 in order to work on the book.
