i think it is unrealistic for fans to expect sequels to be published a year after the first one and also want the book at its highest quality. it’s okay to expect a few years in between and i think it weird how much pressure authors face to publish their next book immediately. that’s a lot of stress on authors and i think it often leads to books being put out before they are ready.
If you truly enjoy books, you should be used to a slower consumption experience.
Apply this to time between installments.
Accept that if you get into a good series with multiple books to go, you are going to be following it for a decade or more.
A bad book published on schedule is on time once, but bad forever.
A good book published on a delay is late once, and then good forever.
Ultimately, you’re getting a book either way. The question is, would you like something satisfactory that you can look back on fondly for the rest of your life, or do you want something that the author rushed out over the course of a bunch of sleepless nights that reflects the quality of those working conditions?
Good work takes time. If you’re really pressed about authors not handing you a novel each year, go write fanfic - and find out for yourself how hard it is to produce a novel’s worth of good, solid, well-paced, well-plotted story regularly.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Reblogged as much for the haiku as anything else… :)
I know you’re on this post GRRM

art history will be like “this is the most revolutionary painting of its time!” and you will look at it and is just a normal painting of a lady sitting under a tree and then an art historian will explain “this is the first time a painting ever used this specific shade of blue which challenged all understood conventions of how to depict light and launched a movement known as auzureism, and also the lady is looking at a sparrow which in its time it was a sign of fierce sexual liberation and it was considered scandalous” and then you find out the painter was expelled from the academy of art of stockholm because of the painting and that the king of sweeden paid three thousand marcs (equivallent to ten million dollars now a days) to have the painting in his room and the painting still looks like a generic painting of a lady under a tree

So a couple Christmases ago, I got an emergency whistle in my stocking. It was supposed to be deafeningly loud, so obviously not the sort of thing you blow on Christmas morning just to see what it sounds like. And let me tell you, pretty much that whole morning, I was dying to blow that whistle. Out of curiosity, and because I wasn’t supposed to. The next time I had the house to myself, it was one of the first things I did.
All of this to say, when Susan rode around with her horn strapped to her saddle, I wonder how often she was intrusively tempted to just pick it up and blow it? Was is hard to run around Narnia with a horn she was only supposed to blow when she was definitely, seriously, for-real in danger?
And more to the point, what about Caspian? Did he ride away from Dr. Cornelius with a little voice in the back of his head going blow the horn dude c'mon just blow it find out what it sounds like c'mon dude?
#susan was very fortunate to have a horn-justifying emergency within a couple of days #caspian demonstrated great restraint for a 13 year old
hey I’m sorry to fandom-pivot on your post but i really believe this lotr excerpt is relevant to your point because it features a grown man blowing his very loud war-horn for no apparent reason
Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Anduril but of less lineage and he bore also a shield and his war-horn.
‘Loud and clear it sounds in the valleys of the hills,’ he said, and then let all the foes of Gondor flee!’ Putting it to his lips he blew a blast, and the echoes leapt from rock to rock, and all that heard that voice in Rivendell sprang to their feet.
'Slow should you be to wind that horn again, Boromir, said Elrond. 'until you stand once more on the borders of your land, and dire need is on you.’
'Maybe,’ said Boromir
Elrond: don’t do that shit in my house again
Boromir: 😌
