马丁本人厌倦了不停追问出版,以下为他的回复:够了吗?
I haven't lost my enthusiasm for writing A DANCE WITH DRAGONS.
I have, however, lost my enthusiasm for answering questions about it.
And I have REALLY lost my enthusiasm for people writing that I am "not a young man" and speculating about my possible death.
I am not working "only sporadically" on DANCE. But it's not simple equation: x many hours does not necessarily produce X many pages. Oh, sure, some writers can do that. Not me.
For me, especially on this book, there's a lot of rewriting (and restructuring) involved. I write a chapter, sometimes several, decide later it isn't working, go back and rewrite and cut it all out.
These are aspects of the creative process that are NOT FOR PUBLIC VIEW. I am wrestling with my story, my characters, and my muse, and that's one wrestling match you won't see on Pay Per View.
Someday I will die, and I hope you're right and it's thirty years from now. When that happens, maybe my heirs will decide to publish a book of fragments and deleted chapters, and you'll all get to read about Tyrion's meeting with the Shrouded Lord. It's a swell, spooky, evocative chapter, but you won't read it in DANCE. It took me down a road I decided I did not want to travel, so I went back and ripped it out. So, unless I change my mind again, it's going the way of the draft of LORD OF THE RINGS where Tolkien has Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin reach the Prancing Pony and meet... a weatherbeaten old hobbit ranger named "Trotter."
And that's about as much as I'm going to say on this subject. Which is probably too much. I guarantee you, I will now get a bunch of letters from those who want to read this deleted chapter. (No. Thank you, but no).
I'm working on it.
It will be done when it's done. When it is, I'll let you know.
Why isn't that enough?

直接这么问他当然是很不礼貌的~~不过说实话,这些问题我早在心里问过他无数遍了~~~

关于魔戒那部分没看懂。
马丁大叔主要遇到的困难是不是和他把一本书拆成两本有关?
ccxx 2007-10-25 11:21
不是
主要问题是他精益求精
刚刚完全删除了提利昂与“裹尸布王”会面的一章
他不满意的情节会完全重写完全删除完全从头来过
他说,有的作家是花X个小时写X页
他不是
所以不要拿时间来烦他了。

马丁要真的突然死了一定是被烦死的

大部分作家,尤其是通俗文学作家,会迁就市场,而不得不放弃自己的打算。但马丁决不会为写而写。
而我爱极了他这种创作的态度。
斯特拉斯 2007-10-25 21:17
其实我觉得马丁的写作速度已经不慢了。。。。。。
请问他第四卷共写了多少时间?
gunbuster363 2007-10-25 21:50
我始終認為卷5寫了這麼久是因為卷4編排錯了...

不想去问什么时候出下一部,真正的好东西都是在它们想出现的时候出现的。
指环王那段是举例子说托尔金爷爷在写作指环王的时候也曾经写着写着就改变主意,删掉了一些写好的章节。这里提到的久经风霜的老霍比特人最后变成了我们熟悉的阿拉贡。

哦…原来这个意思…看来托老爷子真得很喜欢霍比特人。

就是 一本好的小说是需要时间的
X小时写X页 , 也许有些人就能做到但我做不到! 怎么不是呢 ?!

大部分人担心的恐怕也就是这问题.

如果马丁因为什么时候会死这个问题,而快快地把书写出来,怕那时会有很多人后悔这么催促他了......
