Wrong number. The interviewer has two laughs, haHAha-ha and yaHAHAHAHAha-ha. Counting the number of A's in a laugh, the 7A laugh sounds like a sample being inserted under the title "laugh prompt", while the 4A laugh might actually be spontaneous. 4 parts spontaneity in 11 parts total, seems like an early series Automated Interviewer... ;)

He wouldn't be able to answer a lot of their questions for two reasons: 1) he can't remember many things as there's a lot of detail in such an intricate series 2) he's creating stuff as he's going along. When the series is completed is when it will be time for a real interview.

I met Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series, at a book signing for the second novel in Toronto in the early 1990s. I asked him how many books it would be and he said, "Oh, right now about 4 or 5...but maybe more." Well, he was right on that account. I think it ended up being 14 novels plus some extra works in the same world. Sadly, he passed away in 2007 before he could finish, but other writers took up the task and did him proud. Let's hope George doesn't go the same way before he can finish, because I heard he has no plans for anyone to finish the series if he passes away. Then we will never know if Jon really kills Dany, Arya rejects Gendry, and Bran becomes king.

I'm planning to read the WoT books. I'm halfway through the eye of the world. so far its been great.

G.R.R. Martin was taken by a strange mood! G.R.R. Martin has claimed a typewriter. G.R.R. Martin has created A Song of Ice and Fire, a paper manuscript. This is a paper manuscript. Written on the item is a novel entitled A Song of Ice and Fire, authored by G.R.R. Martin. It concerns the continent Westeros. The writing is reasonably serious and it is forceful. Overall the prose is masterfully written.

[@Ograbem]

[@skeven0]

[@MartianMothman]

I feel like, in keeping with the theme of the faith of the seven he should’ve written seven books in the main series and three books about the Targaryen dynasty because “the dragon must have three heads”. George doesn’t like to limit himself with deadlines and numbers but it’s honestly good to do that sometimes especially with a thematic purpose and giving yourself plenty to work with.

There must be a clue to how it all ends in his first conceived scene with the discovery of the pups.....

[@GenomeSoldierDK]

Warning this contains spoilers from book 1: Well the discovery of the pups was a very symbolic moment of foreshadowing in many ways. The parent direwolf was killed by a stag symbolising the downfall of the Stark family at the hands of the Baratheon's (Ned accepting the job as Hand of the King) - and literally on the orders of Joffrey Baratheon. It's beautiful writing. So many meanings in just one moment.

Well, one could technically say the 5 books that are out are actually 7, since A Storm of Swords and a A Dance with Dragons are 2 parts. So, definitely more than 7 books. Anyway, George already shared how the series will end with a writer he trusts is able to finish it properly in the event that he dies before finishing it himself. So, we know the story/series will have an end. Hopefully George has many years still ahead of him, to enjoy life and complete the work himself.
