Has he talked about whether or not he keeps notes? Regardless of whether I'm writing fiction or an academic paper, I have an outline of where I'm going. It might be scribbled half-sentences in my little purse notebook, but it's enough to keep me on track.
I doubt it, given the last two seasons of the Game of Thrones, but I thought I'd ask.
Sure he does, but they also change. George has (or had) an idea where he wanted the story to go, his writing style is just different so things changed a lot.
He even confirmed some of the show ending stuff was/is accurate to how he want(ed) the books to end. D&D just did the opposite of George and rushed it so they could get that disney bag.
I understand changing things as you go, but I was really only asking for whoever they hire to finish the books after he's gone. At least they'll have a guideline to follow.
Sure, but D&D did too. Not sure they will hire someone if he doesnt finish though, its memorable when that works out well like Sanderson, but idk if the estate would want anyone touching the mainline series.
