Doesn't necessarily mean it's the Winds he's talking about :/ The illustrated version of ASOS doesn't release until November, though. Surely GRRM hopes to open his cinema earlier than that?

Surely GRRM hopes to open his cinema earlier than that? As much as I want the next book; I hope that he is cautious. He is of an age where he is more susceptible to corvid and I don't know if he has underlying health issues. I'm in the same boat and I'm wary of a second wave in the fall and a third around Xmas. I wouldn't want to lose him prematurely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel fine at the moment, and we are taking all sensible precautions. I am off by myself in a remote isolated location, attended by one of my staff, and I’m not going in to town or seeing anyone. Truth be told, I am spending more time in Westeros than in the real world, writing every day. Things are pretty grim in the Seven Kingdoms… but maybe not as grim as they may become here.

Table8 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 GRRM had the chance to complete a work that would have potentially been an all time classic. He blew it. I’m sure he is enjoying his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't read the end, that is unfortunate. But writing is hard, especially something of this magnitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Yeah, ASoIaF without his end, is like LOTR without ROTK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinglourious Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Did anyone see that the website www.thewindsofwinter.com was also updated yesterday? It seems to have some kind of loading screen at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can guarantee that it will be any better than what we got from the show? Any writer can do better than we got in the show. The fact that we had the show makes it that much clearer to GRRM that if he is not able to finish on his own, that he needs raise his standards and intensely screen any co-writers or ghostwriters. He didn't really do that great of a job vetting Dumb&Dumber and he gave up too much power to them and HBO. I doubt he will make the same mistake again. I think GRRM is and will continue to use an outline for these final two books (but especially the last one). He has no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euron III Greyjoy Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Well? Does it still seem likely? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRM is isolated with his writing machine, after all, so I'd say the likelihood of it getting done in July is higher than in a normal July. But if it doesn't happen, the thread might need a rename. If July passes with no announcement or indication of progress, I propose "The curious 2020 case of TWOW optimism". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyll.Ing. Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 It should be possible to set up a script that renames the thread so the title always points 6-7 months ahead of the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakinTheWall Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I happen to know of such a script: simply rename the thread "TWOW in the future seems ever more likely...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnycarko Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Just signed into this forum for this first time in almost 10 years. I posted that in the thread which announced Martin's completion of ADWD.
