Great, don't fucking post up a blog post saying your books are almost done and should be publishable within a year when it will actually take 6 or more... At least I knew with Martin that I'd be in for a wait (I only started back around 5 years ago when his penchant for doing ANYTHING than writing was already well known) same with Scott Lynch, I knew I'd be in for a long wait when he posted about his depression and his need to do things other than write...
Hey, you know what though, I love my job, I would in fact continue to work at my job even if they stopped paying me, which conveniently just so happened last month...I'm not going to pre-order a book written by someone that obviously hates writing as a career until I read reviews saying it's positive, and not just something he slogged through to get a paycheck when the second book was very iffy compared to the first.
Edit:this in response to laurariac, mobile version of this site is difficult to navigate and whatnot.
