This is why people hate GRRM at this point. He keeps teasing something that no one believes he'll actually finish, just stringing them along to keep interest in his other projects.

GeminiDeus posted... How long ago was the 50% status of the book's progress?13 years ago he had around 400 which would be 25% if he's telling the truth and around 1100-1200 pages was 75% 3 years ago but a year later it was still that same amount. Give it another 5 years because he's gotten slower, he has to find some kind of excuse every couple of months for an interview so he can get some more attention and he gets sidetracked by everything else. --- 3DS FC: 2380-2873-6073 Sun IGN: Evelyn Sword IGN: Fiora ...

I think we'll eventually get it - I think the mass popularity of GoT, and then the huge backlash the ending few seasons got probably made him change a bunch of plans (given like, the main plot points of the last few seasons aren't really that out there, just how the show got to them), and GRRM is admittedly really bad at actually planning his stuff out. Don't forget his last book was released pretty much around like, season 1-2 of the show's release. That's a lot more hype for this book than existed when he was writing the last one. So having to redo whatever his original plans were, and then find a (at least, somewhat) different way of bringing even more characters together for a big final climax that still fits the myriad of storylines and character arcs probably isn't fun. I imagine Winds of Winter would probably be the toughest book of the story to actually write. But because of that, I do think that if we actually manage to get Winds of Winter, we'll probably also get A Dream of Spring pretty quickly. At that point the hardest stuff for GRRM to write will be done, and it'll be easier to wrap everything up once its been set up for the big climax. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I totally get why he doesn't want to glorify fanfiction. Anyone can write GOT stories but only Martin can write the actual books. That's totally reasonable.
