What is the alternate path then? How does one seduce a book out of an author?
That seems kinda silly. Surely is better to be patient like a stone? Or in this case, many stones.
Good advice! We should tell PR and his publisher to stop grabbing at our money and focus on the trilogy. Which is of course what you meant...four years ago?
How dare he focus his time on charities for needy people, that money-grubbing bastard.
I'm sure his deal with Hollywood to make a series is all about giving, just like the video games he plays, the books he's reading, and the D&D games.

Or if he does nothing for another twelve years! We should be so lucky.

It's something to do while waiting. And A Feast for Crows proved waiting to enjoy the next book isn't always an option. Because waiting doesn't guarantee a book you can enjoy.
