probably closer to eight or nine months or thereabouts. It is always a balancing act, since I want the chapters to have a certain dramatic flow, I worry about certain storylines being forgotten if they are "off stage" too long, and there is a constant tug of war between character time and reader time (a character may have two chapters, taking place one day apart, but if two hundred pages of stuff about other characters separate those two chapters, the reader is going to perceive a long timeĪs having passed, even if I begin the second chapter with, "When he woke up the very next morning."Īll of which is a long winded way of saying, no, Jon was not born "more than 1 year" before Dany. And then just when I have it exactly right, my editors weigh in from both sides of the Atlantic, each suggesting a slightly different chapter order. You would not believe how often I reshuffle the chapters, trying to find the one true perfect sequence. I will confess, the chronology of these books sometimes gives me fits. I see what you're driving at here, I guess. I will spare you the rest of my speculations about the date of Jon's birth, since their only real conclusion is that Catelyn seems a little thick when she thinks that Ned fathered Jon as he returned 'Dawn' to Ashara Dayne.Īh. Now, if this was after Jon's chapter - and (apparent) name day, it could be concluded, that Jon was born more than 1 year before Dany, and at least 3 months before Queen Rhaella left King's Landing. Dany's 14th name day was at the end of her chapter, on the far side of the Dothraki sea. In his first chapter at the Wall, Jon reflects that his name day passed a fortnight before.
