Of course, I'm writing about Meereen, where the weather is hot and muggy, oppressive. If the snow keeps falling, I better take it as an omen, switch to a Jon chapter tomorrow.
The good news: finished a chapter today.
The bad news: it's one I've finished at least four times before.
This time, though, I think I finally got it right. We'll see. Still whacking at the Meereenese knot.
I took an especially vigorous hack two days ago, by switching to a new POV. It seems to have helped. Helps to have a pair of eyes on the inside rather than the outside here. And back story works better in recollections than in dialogue.
Let's hope that when next week comes, I still like what I did this week.
Writing, writing...

You're so close I can taste it!
I'm glad you've finished a tricky chapter. And I hope the playoff games won't incline you to treat some of my favorite characters less than charitably. :)
Since I read a song of fire and ice for the first time, I can not read another book of fantasy. Your work is excellent. Congratulations.

re: tailchasing. Dude. Your stuff is consistently awesome and decidedly un-tail-chase-y. That's just the mid-novel ennui talking. We, your very own Holy Zombie Horde, have faith in you. =)
Keep plugging,
yr. fan,

Omen indeed.
If it's any consolation we are having uncommonly warm weather here in Dunedin. It's stinking hot and I long for air conditioning :(

I think the same could be said for writing :)
ps. I know some people are impatient but I really appreciate all the time you're putting into making the story just right!

Best of luck with that Meereenese knot!
and speaking of snow, try living in Canada.
Glad to here that you have finished a chapter, even if you have finished it a hundred times before. Perfection is always in the distance. Also I would suggest that if you are still having trouble with the knot, find "Needle" laying around somewhere and stick it with the pointy end.:)
Keep your pencil sharp, I forsee a break in the know soon.LOL
John
tis also around zero.
Happy writing.
Good luck on feeding those threads out of the knot. Hopefully the knot doesn't resemble Ouroboros.
