Read that Dunk and Egg story.

Apparently George said somewhere that his first Targaryen history book, Fire and Blood, is just about finished and might get released this year. That probably means no Winds of Winter in 2018.

Why the hell is he working on that instead of Winds of Winter?

because he's a gigantic pos and types using only two sausage fingers on a word processor that was made during the reagan administration

Too busy rough ridin' super models on piles of HBO cash.

GRRM released a WoW excerpt in 2011. that's five years ago 

Thinking about dusting off the series for some Summer/Fall reading. How slow will I have to read for the release of Winds of Winter?

I think it will be out by around this time next year. A Dream of Spring probably won't come out until after George is already dead.

I know, I know, for many of you out there, only one of those projects matters.

I am sorry for you.   They ALL matter to me.

Yes, of course I am still working on THE WINDS OF WINTER.   I have stated that a hundred times in a hundred venues, having to restate it endlessly is just wearisome.      I made a lot of progress on WINDS in 2020, and less in 2021… but “less” is not “none.”

we were going over the snow load changes in the upcoming 2022 ASCE 7, and there is a new regional factor called the winter wind parameter, and holy crap but American Society of Civil Engineers was able to finish winds of winter before george rr martin

How much disappointment per sqft does it tell you to allow for, in our region, if/when the book is never completed?

Less disappointment than there would have been in 2020, but "less" is not "none."

if the last installment i published was in 2011, i would not put " i don't know where 2021 went" anywhere in my post explaining why i haven't finished the next book yet.

I loved Rome.   What did he mention?

Bruno Heller, the creator and showrunner of ROME, is writing his pilot script for the Corlys Velaryon series.   That one started out as NINE VOYAGES, but now we’re calling it THE SEA SNAKE, since we wanted to avoid having two shows with numbers in the title.

I didn't take the post as him lying to us. It's him telling himself that he actually is still working on his book when he hasn't actually written a single word in over a year.

I'd rather wait for the GRRM books than have them be ghost written or written posthumously by someone else. The final three books of Wheel of Time read like fan fiction. But they were also improvements over the last few written by Robert Jordan. Martin is incredibly slow but all five have been very good so far. Haven't seen any drop off except for maybe a little in Book 5.

ksuw is bitb at estimating the severity of future events

[TheHamburglar]

That dude isn’t writing another word of the main series for the rest of his life.

Yeah and who cares? The big reveal was so lame.

I enjoy being outraged about it
