Interesting, especially since I'd heard that the publishers had been downplaying the potential boost in sales from the TV series. The books are already much more popular than Charlaine Harris's were before TRUE BLOOD aired, so the monstrous boost in sales that series got (over 300% in the first year) should perhaps not be expected. However, they seem to have not expected the fact that multiple media outlets have been talking about the TV series for over a year now, and this is starting to drive sales even before the new TV tie-in editions come out.
It will be interesting to see how sales of the series have increased in the first year after the series debuts.
Great, maybe George Martin will now have a new blog post telling us all to buy Game of Thrones again so he can make more money. Lord knows he isn't ever going to get anything on A Dance of Dragons as it will never be DONE.
Well, I don't know if the detractors have noticed, but GRRM has been really-really quiet on his blog for more or less two weeks now. This usually means that he is busy working. We should take that as a good omen.
Also, given that "only" a few months ago it was "leaked" that he only had 5 more chapters to finish, (presumably even less now) could this mean that he is going through a final, finishing spurt before completing DANCE?
I sure hope so.

Hey Anon, have you been pouting for the last 4 years (more likely 9 if you count AFFC)? That must be a miserable existence...
Congrats George!
(PS...as George tells us in his books, winter can last for 10 years at a time. Spring is coming my friend.)
Just a reminder to Anon, writers don't owe you shit.
They write at the pace that makes sense to them, in their world.
Yeah there is a risk in taking too long, but versus releasing tripe, what would you rather have?
anonymous - cheer up.
do what i did.
read other books.
ignore his fanatic fans.
if you go into his blog, you can see how pathetic they are.
anything he blogs about, you see dozens of comments.
comments on calendars and figurines ...
not one of them question his work ethics.
bullshit.
