he can't just wear a different hat than his trademark hat like that

He is a good writer is the thing, which is what makes his refusal to finish the series so enraging and disappointing.

you dont put leading articles into acronyms
the acronym is
SOIAF

He finished Storm of Swords in 8 months.
What happened to him?

>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up, she was shitting brown water. The more she drank the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew.

Better than Melvillle or Tolkien, better than Dante or Milton. A meridian of prose; never to be surpassed.

i will need the exhaustive list of acronyms if you want to build your case from anecdotes

HBO. He keeps getting involved in other writing projects instead of just finishing his main project.

He couldn't decide what direction to go in after that book and then began to regret the direction he did eventually go in (Feast), so he lost interest

>>25115162
As opposed to yours, eh?

The English convention is dropping the leading article in multi-word titles when brevity is the object, including in conversation ("Have you read Lord of the Ring?"). The convention of acronyms is to drop all articles and particles, except when fans use them for books or movies or cartoons, or acronyms that are created to spell something, but ironically leading articles are then almost always spoken or written where the acronym is a noun

The juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore, he made his money and built his theme park life. He's under no obligation to toil for our benefit or for a few generations of notoriety. We're right to be salty but he's not wrong to leave it unfinished.

>muh prose
mogged by faulkner and barnes. next.

>>25115161
how did she escape this doom loop?

>>25115727
It's his legacy anon, it's far more for his benefit than for ours. He already had decent money before the TV show even got made, it was never about the money.

Kill all prosefags.

What it actually was:
>get invested in GOT production
>show becomes more popular than books
>make a gorillion dollars
>get lazy and lose focus
>give GOT writers basic plot formula after books are over
>realize if the show concludes the story, no one will care about the books
>be fine with that
>show ending is terribly received
>tfw that’s how the books were gonna end
>try to think of a new ending
>ah shit I don’t care
>work on developing new shows and milking the IP until death
>preserve some imagined thread of reputation because the show was bad but the books remain “untarnished”

You must be able to tell your story within at most 2000 pages. If you can't, you're not a good writer, period.

This is why I roll my eyes when Gibbon is treated like some paragon of writing. Most of his history is filler
