Hard to believe, but according to his blog George R.R. Martin didn't finish Winds of Winter on schedule.
Did (does) anyone really expect him to finnish it?
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.”

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.
