The Dark Winds will start blowing in June. June 12, to be precise.
Thats the day that DARK WINDS, a new series based on the classic bestselling Navajo detective novels by Tony Hillerman, will premiere on AMC and AMC+. I have blogged about the show before, but this is the first time we have had a release date.

Does he want people to hate him

I wonder if he has the book done but just doesn't tell anyone because he's annoying himself a lot or something

It's what's keeping him in the public eye at the moment. Seems like that's his goal since GoT show ended. Once his next series start airing he'll be promoting those and getting the spotlight again and can still hold off on the book for the same purpose later.

i mean I sorta agree with you but at the same time he was old when he wanted to write so asofai he decided to split AFFC and ADWD up.

Im all for him writing whatever he wants but Im not touching any books/shows he does until the series is done.

Nah, don't give them that out. They barely adapted the last two books and mostly fucked up what they did adapt.

Bullshit. He didn't take a gun to D&Ds head and force them to adopt it. D&D knew how much of the story they'd have to go on and decided to adopt it anyway. They deserve most of the blame, they were the ones who made the TV show, they were the ones who decided to rush the ending.

And nobody forced him to adapt his incomplete series. He willingly chose to let them make the show while obviously not planning to ever actually finish the series.

D&D absolutely and rightfully deserve to be shit on but George isn't some innocent creator who had his work ruined. He gave them an incomplete series (that again, yes, they signed up for) then left after the 4th or 5th season.

GRRM deserves significantly more blame than he gets for the show.

At this point i dont even blame D&D for fucking up the show lol. George assured them he would finish before they did. They didnt have the material to work on anymore and they stopped giving a shit cause George did too. Or they realized that the ending was complete trash and stopped caring. Cause im pretty sure the books are gonna end like the show.

I'm still of the opinion that the ending D&D gave us was the actual ending from the notes that GRRM gave them as one of the conditions for adapting the show in the first place. They may have messed up the execution by cutting things short, but the characters ended up where they were always going to end up.

GRRM, having seen how much people hated the ending, was faced with either re-writing the entire ending to his series (and deal with all the dangling plot threads set up to make that ending possible), or commit to his ending and let people hate it. Facing that choice, he decided to... do nothing. Just anything other than his main series, because he doesn't have a way out.

Plus I have to imagine the guy is used to being treated like fiction writing royalty at this point and all his guest appearances/judge spots/etc will go away if he stops producing, so he just keeps pumping out other projects to stay relevant so his well of fame doesn't dry up.

He doesn't have to care, as long as he's not expecting to be remembered as this brilliant fantasy writer. But if he shouldn't care, then we shouldn't care about holding him up as an author worth praising. All of his attention and all the nice things he gets to have are entirely because people care about what he has to say.

So you're right, he doesn't have to care, but neither do we.

LMAO, nobody is claiming George is some innocent creator who had his work ruined. George R.R. Martin didn't leave them mid way at all. They knew what they were getting, and agreed anyway.

Didn't HBO tell D&D they could have whatever resources and as many seasons as they needed to finish the story and they were like "nah fuck that lmao we're going to go do star wars" and then their star wars show got cancelled. Then that confederacy show they were doing got cancelled.

So the deal is this. Because Martin was already known as being slow as fuck to release books part of his deal with HBO to make the show was that they had to know how it ended so that the show could have something to work toward if they caught up to him. That's exactly what happened.
Then there was so much outcry over the ending that I think Martin got butthurt and now doesn't want to end the books that way but can't think of any other way to do it so he's just kind of piddling around with it at this point.

At this point I don't care if the remaining books ever come out honestly it's been so damn long and I really just don't care about the story anymore.
