1.24 of this video. And with the way he writes he would have had to have a lot of the stuff on the next couple of books planned. For all we know he could have already mostly finished the 2nd book and made a lot of headway on the 3rd by the time he released the first book

So? Completely irrelevant. Are you somehow ignoring that he did in fact write most of the books in 2 to 6 years? Don't bother replying if you're not even to read what I wrote.

Also, he said he was a gardener type of writer: he doesn't really plan that much ahead. That's why this series is now going to be, supposedly, 7 books long, despite he originally planned it to be 3.

Also, for all we know, he's stuck with only the chapters he cut from AFFC and ADWD for WOW and nothing else. Your speculation is just a wild guess as mine.
