Lol @ deadlines being part of his job. When a writer is as big as GRRM and a series as anticipated as ASOIAF, their publishers do not set deadlines on their singular works. GRRM is rich as f**k, they can't hold cash flow and advances over him like they can an upcoming writer. They ask how many prostitutes he'd like them to send to lick his balls while he writes a word a day. It's not like movies, publishers don't have to invest millions of dollars and trust someone to turn a profit out of it. They just sit and salivate for the part when they start printing, like printing cash. Any deadline is something he allows them, and is subject to him taking up golf.
Good point. I forgot to add that while publishers can dictate deadlines, it's in their best interest to be lenient as f**k.
