According to him? He's trying to finish the manuscript by June for a September release. I haven't heard anything from Random House friend in a long time about this, although as soon as he submits the manuscript I will start bugging her for details.
That's good news about Lois Bujold at least...
My theory is once an author gets to a certain level of fame, they either don't listen to their editors or their editors are too intimidated/overworked to bother editing them anymore. Hence the Robert Jordan/ Laurell K Hamilton phenomena -- I hope it's not happening to George, but yeah, I agree, he has waaay too many plotlines.
BTW, he's on my flist if you want to internet stalk him. (I mean I added him, he hasn't added me back or anything...)
