You know, after reading this, This is not to equate myself with GRRM (nor to divorce myself from the group of fans that really wants to read Dance with Dragons), but it does enforce the concept that it's better to have a book done right than done fast. The comics industry trains us to expect new work every month -- but that's from company-produced books made by teams of creators working full-time. Me, I'm just slogging away after spending eight hours at the day-job, trying to make something worth reading.
If there's one regret I have about Vögelein:Old Ghosts, it's that I didn't have another six months to sit on it and then run it through the strainer one last time. . Other people are much more prolific and much faster than I am; I have sped up my page rate considerably, but I'm still a slacker compared to folks like Colleen and Carla. I just have to come to grips with the fact that I can only create so fast, and that it's better to be happy with a slower work than churn out something I'll wish was better, later.
