Honestly, I'd pay for the privilege of slapping GRRM.

Can I be this person for Rothfuss?

Did you see the post from his agent or publisher or whatever saying they dont think he even has a draft?

For as long as I refuse to read it, it does not exist. 😤

I doubt GRRM does either. I'm willing to give a year or two buffer, but after that, I must believe they've done nothing if get can't produce a draft to the editor after claiming to have part of it done.

More hassle than just writing the book for you, and less claim to royalties/compensation. No thank you.

Problem with corporal punishment is that the adults who would put it in the job description and accept it will tend to be into it. Same for domination.

I prefer a job where the methodology at least trends towards the supposedly intended results, not that I'm at all opposed to fetish/kink fulfilment. Just don't tell me the purpose is to help you write an unrelated book, or that my performance is evaluated by your progress in such at all.
