No Winter Yet

Jan van Leyden · Jan 2, 2016

Hard to believe, but according to his blog George R.R. Martin didn't finish Winds of Winter on schedule.

Yeah, no surprise there. So we get to see it on TV before we read it.

Yup, Martin has said he wasn't able to finish by the deadlines he gave himself.

Seems Martin was just distracted.

Dan Simmons on a conversation with Martin in 1981.

George in 1981: “If I were really cynical I would start some medieval sword and sorcery thing, say it’s a trilogy, then keep writing it for the rest of my life.”

Martin is, of course, not a cynic.

Makes sense.

No surprise. I've given up on anticipation and will get excited when it's finally in bookstores.

As I keep saying, if we really want it finished, give it to Brandon Sanderson to ghost write. That man can meet a deadline.

But will he write has many unnecessary subplots!?
