Another Update on A Dance with Dragons
The latest on George R.R. Martin and A Song of Ice and Fire:
After returning from the HBO pilot shoot for A Game of Thrones, which took several weeks away from his writing in late October/November as he visited the set and actors, it seems George delved right into A Dance With Dragons with a slashing sword of work ethic. He has posted more updates in the last three weeks than he has in the last three years, and each update contains information that he has finished another chapter in a book that everyone and their grandmother are waiting for.
I will try to put this in a bit of perspective though. No reason to get super excited yet. In late July 2009, Anne Groell shared with me that George had passed the 1000 manuscript page mark. George later confirmed this as well. On October 6th, George shared via his blog that he had passed the 1100 page manuscript mark. It took him 2 months to write and wrap up 100 pages …
… Today he announced that he has passed 1205 manuscript pages.

Shawn Speakman, one of the writers for Suvudu, also had an interesting post recently about George’s process of free-writing vs. outlining.

You’d think he’s getting paid by the word. *LOL*
Much like Charles Dickens
