I believe him. I've been writing a novella series with at least 30 entries and I hammered out six of them this week. And he's a way better and more accomplished writer than I am, so he should be having an easier time.

I think we should pass a new law that fines GRRM large sums of money every time he trolls us about this book. In very short order he will be completely broke so he will have no choice but to actually complete the damn thing just to have enough money to pay his bills.

How long has he been working on this book by now? Almost a decade? He'll probably kick the bucket before finishing this series.

Unfortunately the fame brought about by the HBO series seems to have gone to his head and caused him to care less about finishing the ASOIAF series. He's giving interviews and talks every other day, and writing for books and projects (TV series, games, etc.) outside ASOIAF. It sucks because we could see some really cool shit happen in the next book, particularly in regards to Euron.

Lol, but probably a good idea. I've given up on the books ever being finished but it is a shame-- I'd really like to see the Great Northern conspiracy come about as that's something the show completely left out.

Yeah. If he does end up finishing this book, there's only a very small chance of finishing the seventh one afterwards. He's getting older, he's in awful shape, very overweight, eats poorly, etc..

I enjoyed reading the books. I never even watched the show. So yeah if he ever releases these last two I'll be first in line to pick them up.

I was once immensely interested, but at this point? No.

Martin has demonstrated that he does not care a single bit about his fans or even just the series. He's lazy and selfish and doesn't deserve any extra money unless he shapes up... Additionally, the ending for the TV series was terrible, and even if it was a bit rushed, you can expect that a lot of the eventual ending will be similar. I have no hype or faith in it at all.

If anything the terrible ending of the television series made me more excited for the books.

I found the books to be bloated. Like, you could shave 200-300 pages out of them by tightening up the writing, and not lose anything of value.

Now the secret that a lot of casual fans don't know, those chapters were all finished before ADwD came out, they were supposed to be in the last book but he wrote too many chapters about bunny ears and where whores go so they had to be pushed to the next book. There's no proof he's done any real work in the last decade.

And this is why those chapters were available to read

George is like Coronavirus target #1. Elderly - CHECK. Overweight - CHECK. Sedentary - CHECK. Underlying conditions - CHECK.

I hope he perfects the art of social distancing.

He is to much of an attention whore at this point to do that.

And at the current pace of story + how much is going on, there's a very good chance that it would need more books for a proper narrative

He's also ancient, in poor health, and loves to drink and smoke.
