Previous Video - George RR Martin on New POV Characters in Winds of Winter: • George RR Martin on Ne... A song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Author George R. R. Martin Interview
In one of the early Bran chapters, when George was talking about Hodor carrying Bran, he stated: "the only problem was doors." Referring to the fact that Hodor often forgot he had Bran on his back and once cracked Bran's skull by running through a door. Some foreshadowing for you.
@@evn2787 theon literally says that he is about to be treated as a unich by his own people before he gets the snip. Idk if that's foreshadowing or just straight up telling you what's gonna happen but I noticed it on my last rewatch
These are all people who are passionate about the universe of GoT... In a way it's like readers being able to ask the God of that given universe, questions.. Besides that I think George has a warm and funny personality.
he says it so people will get the hint as gardeners take their time on writing and it is subtly hinting that people should stop asking him why he takes so long to write the winds of winter and when it will arrive
nope is not gonna go anywhere and it's quite a stupid one tbh George has done some way better works there are really good ones in bran's storyline there was a whole thing going on with Ramsay he had a reek before theon, and bran dreams about Winterfell in sea, the one about Hodor In one of the early Bran chapters, when George was talking about Hodor carrying Bran, he stated: "the only problem was doors." Referring to the fact that Hodor often forgot he had Bran on his back and once cracked Bran's skull by running through a door, and my personal favourite was about Catelyn when she was remembering about ned "Sometimes she felt as though her heart had turned to stone" i giggled like a teenage girl at this so good.
This tower of Ashes is certainly in his top 3 best works, not counting ASOIAF Meathouse Man and Tuf Voyaging are fan fucking tastic and i would highly recommend the short stories he speaks of in this video
I've always wanted to ask specific questions about his world and world building. For example, house Blackwood of Raventree plays a big role throughout the history of Westeros but Raventree doesn't show up on most maps. In the North however a place called Ramsgate is on every map, but who is the noble house of Ramsgate??
Overt sexuality in a lot of those films kind of cheapens it for me. Makes it feel like it was made for 13 yr old boys. The original (written form) of some of those stories is way better (in my opinion). But my opinion has nothing to do with ur commment about love death n robots bringing short stories back. So yeah, carry on. 👍
Poor George he looks so tired of the questions ... like that girl Litterally just asked him what are his worst favored questions and he says : "old same questions about my favourite character" and that next guy just thought it was clever to ask "What is your favourite *Story* ". Yeet One day I would like to hear him on the state of american litterature, on the question of the author in the book, on psychologisation vs structuralism, all sort of philosophical topics related to his ethical part of ASOIAF. Instead we get that shit on and on....
I have to admire him for how much he's given back in terms of teaching and giving advice to the next generation of writers. Jack Lemmon once said, when you reach the top you should always send the elevator back down, and George has definitely sent the elevator back down.
I don't think it's fair to shit on people for just asking what a writers favorite character is. Like sure that's not crazy deep but it's not exactly idiotic or mean.
New theory, maybe George is just writing both books now and will say publish them say 2 years apart. He cannot take this long to write one book, maybe I’m wrong. But he at least should be able to wrap things up somewhat quickly, he would have to have somewhat of an idea which would quicken up the process of the last book. Cannot deal with another decade waiting after winds of winter.
I feel bad for the guy. All of the sudden overnight he is rich and can just do whatever he wanted too.... which is clearly not going to be finishing the books. I feel bad for him because he's in an impossible situation. He can't just come out and say "I'm done with the books" and even if he did finish them the fan expectation of what they "should be" is basically impossible to reach at this point. That can't be a fun place mentally. I mean he's obviously barely working on the current novel (going on almost a decade now) and forget about the novel after that. He's done with it....but there's no way he can admit that.
@@jdkgcp I don't know if you're aware, but he recently published two books; Fire And Blood parts 1 and 2. If you suspect he is tired of the ASOIAF universe, then why would he make two books on the world's history? Not even its current events as they're progressing, but events set 150 years before the current events of ASOIAF.
I don't think he feels sorry for himsels, so neither should you. For most writers it's a challenge to engage people. When people care, it's a blessing.
No. I think that he heavily plots his books, but that’s because he forces himself to write a certain number of words a day. As a result, he also writes VERY quickly.
Sanderson does extensive outlines before writing his book however he gives himself breathing room for stuff like characterisation. I think they is a lecture on RUclips where he discusses the architect and gardener. Example for him he says Steven King is a gardener he hates outlining however architect usually has a really great ending because how it’s been seeded throughout the book.
southstaronline I think he said in 2018 the maybe 2 books will come out instead of just one so F&B Vol 1 and TWOW. Or how he said end of FFC that ADWD will be out next year (2006) instead came out in 2011 and that book being incomplete lacking a climax and too much cliffhangers.
@@southstaronline Not oughtright, it's mostly speculation. The story is that George was invited to ASoIaF event in New Zealand(I believe). He declined to go saying he had to finish TWoW. Martin also added that if the book wasn't out by ~June 2020, he gave the fans permission to kidnap him and force him to finish. So not really official but an interesting jest to make, especially since he said he wouldn't make any more predictions for release dates.
@@lewis9434 So they didn't date before they got married? Just met and tied the knot? I know I dated my wife for 3 years before marriage - she didn't influence my life at all . . .
@@malafakka8530 GUESS? "GUESS"? holy fuck, idiots are swarming this comment section lmfao. Imagine thinking a book written in the 1990s could be influenced by a woman GRRM married in 2011. I'm praying for u , honestly I am. No one deserves to be this stupid.
If the HBO ending is what we have to look forward to with him then fuck Game of Thrones. it’s garbage and overrated. The absolute worst use of character development that I’ve ever seen in a show or book

- Blackemperor- Right. And I missed that one completely. Thx!
there was some with Theon a more obvious one was bran dreams about sea coming to Winterfell and few about Ramsay if my memory serves
@@evn2787 but that dream about flooding is meant to be a foretelling dream, named green dream. Not really foreshadowing I think.
The dream about the sea is pretty obviously about Theon. At least it was obvious for me
@@evn2787 theon literally says that he is about to be treated as a unich by his own people before he gets the snip. Idk if that's foreshadowing or just straight up telling you what's gonna happen but I noticed it on my last rewatch
George RR Martin: literally anything
Audience: *laughs*
Thats like all his interviews
It's embarassing
He is an extremely funny character, one must admit...
These are all people who are passionate about the universe of GoT... In a way it's like readers being able to ask the God of that given universe, questions.. Besides that I think George has a warm and funny personality.
by audience you mean "fans"
something you're clearly not
Person= *Literally any question*
George RR Martin= ''You see there are two types of writers: the architects and the gardeners...''
he says it so people will get the hint as gardeners take their time on writing and it is subtly hinting that people should stop asking him why he takes so long to write the winds of winter and when it will arrive
@@rasallyjohansen3951 than he should learn to trim his garden lol
@@rasallyjohansen395112 years is a long ass time for those excuses bro.
Thats like 5th different interview where Martin answers a question by explaining the architect and a gardener writing theory.
Why is he still doing interviews?
tbh that's a really good analogy and original too
He says the same thing in all his interviews. If you have seen one then you've them all.
@@christianhernandez4279 I'm sure he gets paid.
Probably he gets asked the same questions all the time
I love the book scene where a certain's character shadow "for a moment made him look tall as a king"
It was a great line to end the chapter on as well. (I'm on my 3rd series reread.)
I forget which book was that?
I think that will go nowhere, in the first book therr was foreshadowing of jaime becoming king something that george rr martin droped early
nope is not gonna go anywhere and it's quite a stupid one tbh George has done some way better works there are really good ones in bran's storyline there was a whole thing going on with Ramsay he had a reek before theon, and bran dreams about Winterfell in sea, the one about Hodor In one of the early Bran chapters, when George was talking about Hodor carrying Bran, he stated: "the only problem was doors."

That was very heartwarming
GRRM Breathes*
Everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Slade We’re all just so happy that he’s still breathing...
@@jamiegrantduggan373
Nervous laughter
I keep wishing that someone will ask him about Elden Ring. As the days go by i keep finding myself more and more intrigued in it's premise.
Oh, Elden Ring!
I've read somewhere that every interview we see online is not after 2016
@Random Fellow Elden Ring is a videogame that has nothing to do with Asoiaf but its world was designed by George R R Martin
@@GabrieleTarallo Correct - these are old(er) interviews that Aegon is posting but he has newer interviews from his Fire & Blood book tour late 2018.
Miyazaki x Martin is the crossover we don't deserve but we need
This man is full of charisma, such an interesting man
It's not charisma, people just worship him since the tv show came out.
@@Chocolatnave123 no, it's both, George has a fascinating way of speech. Obv the audience gives him more but he is still good
You're a great character btw Jon.
@@jonnysith well it's pretty simple to be better than Elia or that bitch Lyanna Stark, smh
Hows that greyscale coming along Jon Connington?
Best question ever asked to George
Not really. The guys thought that ASOIAF was "high fantasy".
As soon as he said "there are two types of writers..." I was like - ahh shit, here we go again.🤣🤣
This tower of Ashes is certainly in his top 3 best works, not counting ASOIAF
Meathouse Man and Tuf Voyaging are fan fucking tastic and i would highly recommend the short stories he speaks of in this video

Honestly a great question
Winter is coming!
Chill out Rark.
any one know the original full interview???
As rude as it is to ask GRRM about who'll finish the books when he dies, it's still a question I would like an answer to.
Hopefully nobody. I’d sooner the books were never finished than have someone else finish them. It’d be seasons 6-8 all over again.
Short stories are coming back. Love death and robots is going to revive it.
Gay juice my friend, that's just a shitty show
@@meitgame1566 wtf is gay about that show?

I don't think it's fair to shit on people for just asking what a writers favorite character is. Like sure that's not crazy deep but it's not exactly idiotic or mean.
Just love and admire GRRM
4:45 one of the best questions I’ve ever heard in my life 😂
A song for lya is a masterpiece
Source video/interview please?
is the other guy Miguel Sapochnik ??
Please ask him about Elden Ring next time.

Violated the trinity 😂
Instead we get „BLUE EYES GREY EYES GREEN EYES“ as a shitty foreshadowing

@@notquitekeanu Nah.... just feel sorry for him is all.

For most writers it's a challenge to engage people. When people care, it's a blessing.
What about the blend of both a gardener and an architect? Can that be a thing?
He said in the video that most writers are exactly that
I'm in the middle of the Stormlight Archives but would I be wrong in saying that Sanderson seems much more architect than gardener?
No. I think that he heavily plots his books, but that’s because he forces himself to write a certain number of words a day. As a result, he also writes VERY quickly.

Pod has down very little, so I suspect he has a greater role in the future.
I'm foreshadowing that he won't ever finish his books.
Books are coming!
I don't even know if that's foreshadowing at this point..... it's just reality.
Foreshadowing would be if you made fun of GRRM never making it to the end during sex or something.
Lol.
Who is the other guy? I think he realized early that audience was only interested in asking GRRM questions.
Fan asks a simple question:
George: wEll THeRe ARe TwO tYpeS of WriTRRS...
:)
I am slowly losing hope that TWOW will ever be finished
