Rothfuss speaks
Very much related to my earlier post on eagerly anticipated yet much-delayed novels, Patrick Rothfuss of The Name of the Wind fame offers his 2 cents and confirms that The Wise Man’s Fear has been delayed. Again. Sure, it makes me a bit stabby, but at least he’s being upfront and honest about the whole thing.
BTW, while the subject is sucky (though I’m pretty sure most anyone who’s been paying attention to his blog knew it was coming), there is some comedy gold hidden within. A well written, thoughtful post from Pat.

GRRM speaks
So, George R. R. Martin posted his thoughts on all the haters out there who are griping about the much-delayed A Dance with Dragons. John Scalzi and Charlie Stross chime in as well.
In a nutshell: Creating something this in-depth and enjoyable isn’t easy; ADwD will be done when it’s done. Sucks, yeah I know, but he’s got a very valid point.

Lost and Found
William Gibson gives us some insight on found emoticons from the first two decades of the 21st century. An instant classic.
Third row, fifth square from left, is the emotion you feel on dreaming you are Hitler (but somehow innocent, as though Hitler were an Etsy crafter who works, very tentatively, in felt).
