What are some mistakes you think george grrm martin made while writing a song of ice and fire?For me it was >including lady stoneheart>making 5 books take span of 2 years instead of 5 or moreI'm not talking here about including 5 year gap, just make time gaps beetwen chapters longer. Having 14 year olds win duels against grown ass men is not believeable>autistically sticking to 7 booksThat's the big one for me, I'm pretty sure he's stuck in a writing limbo because he has no idea how to wrap up all the plotlines in just two books. Because of that we probably won't even get winds
>>25012564Not planning an ending
>>25012564Not knowing what the fuck he was doing, or where it was going.Daily reminder that the series was intended as a trilogy.
>>25012616It's the opposite, his mistake is sticking to the King Bran ending and when the story has shifted the focus elsewhere.
>>25012564Is it really so novel for an author to never finish his major work? Philip Sidney, for example, never finished the Arcadia, although his life was cut much shorter than Martin’s. Tolkien had unfinished works, although he perfected the Lord of the Rings in his lifetime. Didn’t Sanderson take up his pen for someone who passed away before he could finish his series, too? I wonder if there’s someone George trusts enough to collaborate with to finish A Song of Ice and Fire. Maybe he feels he needs to do it all on his own…
>>25012619It still is a trilogyIt's just that the last book has 3+ volumes
>>25012651>Tolkien had unfinished worksBut he didn't submit them for publication. Every writer has unfinished works.
>>25012564Writing A Feast for Crows so he could worldbuild (his equivalent of masturbation) instead of focusing on the plot and the existing POV characters.Really, anything that has to do with Essos is a waste of time. Everyone we care about is or will be on Daenerys' side. Despite dedicating multiple POV characters toward fleshing out Essos, its nations are just comically evil mooks compared to the factions related to the war for the Iron Throne.I simply do not care about what Rizzdhar lo Dumfak thinks about Daenerys' tax policy. I also do not care about a sand nigger getting burned to death when his story role was less important than his ability to serve as a worldbuilding tool.

Their tits weren't big enough
