A Dance with Dragons Update

Taken from GRRM's official site:

"As of this writing, A DANCE WITH DRAGONS consists of some twenty-two finished chapters totalling 542 manuscript pages, plus another 100 to 150 pages of partial chapters, early drafts, scenes, and fragments. Some of that material will need to be revised, and of course much more remains to be written. My hope is to bring the book in at around 1200 to 1300 pages.

And before anyone writes me asking, yes, there is a third Dunk and Egg novella in the works as well. It's maybe three-quarters done, and sometime soon I want to find the time to finish that one too. Anyway, that's how things stand at the end of January.

I will try and update again around the beginning of April."

There's more on the official site, but I am extremely excited about the information posted above. Let's hope that now that the Feast is over, Martin's muse will return and he'll be back to the writing flowing from his fingertips.

DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

Arya - Spoilers (if you haven't read AFFC)

So, Arya ends up blind... here's the question: Do you think she will regain her sight, or become the next blind wonder like Maester Aemon?

Weird that we lose one blind character and gain another.... it makes me suspicious of Martin's motives toward Arya....
