So no one read the article? Just the headline?
This references a statement he made in 2023 which itself references a statement he made in 2022 saying he had the same number of pages completed.
This is an assumption that he has done nothing, rather than the far more likely situation of rewrites and editing.
People seriously some basic media literacy lessons.
At this point that feels like the bigger assumption
Especially after 13 years.
Plus it's not like he's literally done nothing for thirteen years. He did Fire and Blood, wrote for TV, did a bunch of companion books, edited and produced stuff, and so on.
It would be nice if Winds didn't seemingly get put on the backburner, but creators really can't control their inspiration. George has as many stories to tell as hes always had, but for whatever reason he's having trouble coming back to finish the story he started almost thirty years ago, and TBH I get it.
No body says he has been idle. In fact, the major contention is that he been too focusing on doing all those things he mentioned.
Sorry dude but he’s not doing shit. He’s busy buying random shit in my hometown and enjoying not working like 99% of the entitled rich transplants that priced out all the locals there.
