Thriving in Winter (And Looking for a Colorist)
So here we are. February.
In my head, it seems like 2018 has barely ended, but at the same time I know objectively that it’s been months since I updated the blog…
Despite the radio silence, things are actually going pretty well here in rothtown. Those of you who have been reading the blog for a while know that things have been a little emotionally rocky for me the last little… forever. But in this case, the quiet was a signal of things getting better, not getting worse.

So.... Any ETA?? It's been eight years..... Just say'n...
Why hasn't GRRM finished A Song of Ice and Fire? Because then the story would end before networks like HBO could milk every last drop. So why hasn't Patrick finished Kingkiller? Because Lionsgate and Showtime didn't drink from the teet yet. https://www.newsweek.com/kingkiller-c...
Greetings from a yooper living in Germany! Glad to hear you're doing well. Can't believe one of my favorite authors lives just a few hours from my hometown. The pictures from your last blog reflect the scenario in the yoop pretty well right now, too...
I don't understand, if the series was originally written as one long story, then broken apart, how dang many years does it take to work the last book into a standalone? Been so long since I've read the others I've almost forgotten the story.

He shouldn't release it unless he's satisfied with it himself. I would also like it to come out tomorrow morning, but I can wait for a great story. Pat's tough on himself, I don't think we need to be nit-picky about release dates here of all places.

Internet speculation, TOR re reads and that kind of deep analysis of the first 2 books have pulled the rug from underneath him by this point I reckon. All his secrets have already been discovered, discussed and analysed albeit unwittingly under the banner of speculation. The dangers of book clubs with participants numbering in the thousands unfortunately. (All IMO of course).
