Newstar Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The new interview, there was one by the same publication a year ago: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/88566-winds-of-winter-progress-in-grrm-interview-in-chile/ Another translation: http://oglobo.globo.com/cultura/george-r-martin-autor-de-game-of-thrones-eu-me-perco-nas-historias-11827505 It seems like there were two separate interviews, a year apart (2013 and 2014), by different authors, where GRRM says more or less exactly the same thing about TWOW: not this year, maybe the next. It is...not encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmanakan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If the book doesn't come out this year I really don't see him keeping up with the show. Just saw a new preview of season 4 of GoT and Bravos is in it which means arya's alrdy going to be in Bravos by the end of the season. Also saw Bran crawling in the snow which leads me to believe a portion of DWD & Feast will be covered. Which if that's the case I don't see feast and dance covering more than a season maybe a season and a half after this season which would mean even if WOW came out in 2015 it would only give him a year and a half or 2 years to write dream of spring. It's this year or bust to keep up with the show. Think about it, they said the show won't be more than 8 seasons which would make the final season 2018 winds of winter will be on the show two years from now at the latest which means dream of spring will be on the show 3 years from now maybe either way you look at it.So if it doesn't come out by Christmas and he buckles down for ADOS he ain't keeping up with the show.That's why I've been hoping for winter in July, it does seem unlikely unfortunately but if not this year were screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gi_Varotti Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm Brazilian, and it looks quite legitimate - that news website is usually reliable and supposedly it's an interview conducted directly by phone with GRRM. In the interview he is asked when he will come to Brazil, and he answers that there are no plans to such travel because he cannot write on the go. There are many questions and all answers seems reasonable and coherent with previous GRRM statements, I don't see any reasons to think that tWoW estimate answer is fake. Hello there, Brazilian mate :) I still think we'll only put our hands on Winds in 2016. But if we get it earlier, will there be any chance of getting another Dunk & Egg book an year after Winds' release? (Now that's wishful thinking :unsure: ).

Varamyr6skins Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yes we can add also that he spoke of an annoucement soon, certainly at the Season 4 premiere at his theater which is March 29th so it's this month. I want to believe !! Believe it....My Source is Legit, A random house employee. I would say the name, and you guys could look it up and confirm it top be true but that would give the game away,...(like asking for a jug of vinegar every morning) and destroy my relationship with said individual. So we wait a little less than 3 weeks to see if my word is as good as the gold in casterly rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berelyn Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yesterday I was scrolling through some geek news and there was this big headline "GRRM announces work on a new book is done!" and a blog link. So i nearly lost my pants as i rushed to click on the link, imagine my face when i find out it's the blody AWOIAF. Seriously, the book concept sounds awesome but I am hating it by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be unheard of to have someone hear about a release date for the next Martin book and not realize they didn't actually means Winds of Winter.

Daemon Targaryen Uber Targ Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yea, I heard it from my dog's previous owner's mother in law. She heard it from her uncle twice removed. He heard it from a Burger King manager in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And they heard it from some crazy homeless guy who calls himself "The Sword of the Morning". TOTALLY LEGIT. If Georgey boy announces a Winds of Winter release date by the season 4 premier I'll donate my left nut to charity. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Bran Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's going to be interesting to see how the show handles Martin's timing here. With the ages of the kids, they have a finite timeline to tell their story (next 3-4 years at most). And it would be tolerable, but far from ideal, to say that they can make up their own non-canon ending to the show, but the problem here is that Martin has already TOLD them the ending. So they'll be in this awkward position where they don't want to screw over Martin by spoiling his novels with the show versus having to come up with a completely original ending which won't necessarily make sense given that they've followed the novels somewhat closely thus far (and therefore are primed to use the actual ending, as revealed to them by Martin). Long story short, Martin needs to get writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiasyd Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hello there, Brazilian mate :) Heya! :thumbsup: I can believe your source is legit, but given the announcement of A World of Ice and Fire, are you and your source certain it was Winds of Winter and not "A Martin Book"? It would not be unheard of to have someone hear about a release date for the next Martin book and not realize they didn't actually means Winds of Winter. I agree with this - I don't mean to discredit Varamyr6Skins's source - I think it's possible that the story and source are legitimate, but I also think this could easily be mistaken with WoIaF release.

Yep, looks like it's a new anthology, not TWoW unfortunately. Unless he really pulls the wool over everyone's eyes. Edit: It appears there's a new ASoIaF story and a new story by Pat Rothfuss, nice!
