Seanchan 03/01/22 8:03:40 AM #4:	If you haven't read Martin's short story collection, Dreamsongs, it's worth the read. FYI, it might be divided up into multiple volumes.

HeroDelTiempo17 03/01/22 12:49:07 PM #11:	Yeah I know he's a writing machine and I don't expect him to retire since he seems to genuinely love it. Though if he did decide to give up on his insanely ambitious shared universe that will require his entire life to complete, I would be frustrated and sad but I could not exactly blame him. I was mainly thinking "unfortunate accident." I knew he worked with a big team but not that he was training an assistant for writing duty! --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:963076390] in GRRM speak...
