Crixus Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 LOL. I feel sorry for us, and amused by us at once. Any snippet, however vague and unfounded would do me right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow of the Morning Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Speaking of rumors, there is a rumor that the Winds of Winter's ISBN was registered by Penguin Random House. The register is ISBN: 9780553801538 https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/50kzyn/no_spoilers_isbn_winds_of_winter/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crixus Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 As someone on reddit says, we're like Stannis, starving, waiting... I so hope this is true. I can hardly bear to think on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T and A Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I recently visited GRRM "Not A Blog" and found this conversation betweeen him and a User: User: "Good to hear you enjoyed the Con and KC. Epic parties sound perfect!! Is there any chance you will attend "Con of Thrones" in Nashville next June/July?? Attending my 1st Con there next year, how perfect to see the man who wrote my favorite saga." GRRM: "Afraid not. I am not taking on any new cons until I finish WINDS... just worldcons (of course) and appearances I have already committed to (often years ago) like Tucson and Mexico." Note, that the Guy asked if he will visit "Con of Thrones" on June/July 2017!!! GRRM Response is that he won't, because he won't visit any convention until WINDS is finished. So either I misunderstand GRRM, or he doesn't get WINDS finished before June/July 2017!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the fact that he put it like that implies that he is making somewhat decent progress, and isn't just stuck somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either I misunderstand GRRM, or he doesn't get WINDS finished before June/July 2017! No, he will not commit to any new dates until TWoW is done. If he finishes TWoW in say four months, he might look at doing some more cons or something. But I get the impression GRRM may not also want to do a massive signing tour this time around that costs him months of work on ADoS (something he noted happened on ADWD with regards to TWoW).

Me as well, I can't read that as anything other than he doesn't think he will finish before summer 2017. This book is not coming out in 2017 either...geeze lol Cyberpunk probably won't be out that year either...damnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Trying to predict when this book will be out is almost impossible. No one was expecting the ADWD announcement to happen when it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one was expecting the ADWD announcement to happen when it did. I don't feel like ADWD had the same holding breath experience that Winds does. Feast was essentially half of a book, and we all knew the problem he had and that the book might come out soon after he solved it. Winds...well, Dance was not a complete novel was it? Winds will have the conclusions to major set ups in Dance, the timeline will merge back together and we will get back to a complete story. Don't get me wrong. I log onto this site once or twice a day whilst bored at work, but otherwise, Winds doesn't sit in my mind anymore, I am far more anticipating Cyberpunk 2077, and I can only focus on one major anticipation at a time heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashes Of Westeros Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I guess the manuscript is probably finished, but it could take months for editors and correctors to complete the work. Probably some chapters would be put aside for ADoS etc. It's wholla lotta of work to prepare a manuscript for publication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRRC that is the case for TWoW, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
