Instead I'm floating off the Isle of Cedars, or racing across the sands of Dorne. Warm places, both of them, with nary a flake to be seen. But I'd better not change horses. If I keep on keeping on, I should finish one of those chapters this week. Maybe both.

Actually, I do have a question if you have a moment-are any of these chapters getting bumped to Winds? just curious. I know Sansa got the bump, but I am curious to know how much of the other POVs got progression into Winds.
A big fan,
JV
PS- thanks for these tidbits of updates. I'm anxious, but these do help the wait.
Well, it's possible, sure. If I knew they were going to get bumped into the next book, I wouldn't be writing them now, of course, so it's my intent that they be part of DANCE. But at some point, when the finished manuscript goes to my editors, it may be they will say, "this chapter would work better in the next book." Which is indeed what has already happened with the Sansa chapter, and with one Arya chapter I have completed as well.
One major factor will be how big the final book is. If I end up producing something longer than A STORM OF SWORDS, you can bet your firstborn that some chapters will get shifted. That's NOT the only factor, mind you... and don't worry, I am not there yet.
Though I am within spitting distance of 1200 pages.
Isle of Cedars is that isle in Slaver's Bay. So ... someone's approaching Dany by sea, I'm guessing.
But Dorne's a (very pleasant) surprise. Even if might just be an extended flashback, I suppose.
I don't know where to get any info on the subject, and you seem like a cool person(s) who knows a lot of things regarding ASOIF that I do not. If this has already been posted about, I apologize. Thanks Hippo!=)
Very interesting :-)
Good luck with those two - touching wood so you'd be able to actually finish them XD
Have fun :)
1200 pages is a bit mind-boggling. Very annoying that publishers are intent on "breaking" the book into smaller parts. Proust's published work that's 1.5 million words long. Bring on the epic fantasy, I say!
Thanks for the book updates, I'll miss your football commentaries but it's all WIN in the end.
That bloody knot might get hacked open yet!
