I am months away still… and that’s if the writing goes well.
(Sometimes it does.
Sometimes it doesn’t.)
Chapters still to write, of course… but also rewriting.
I always do a lot of rewriting, sometimes just polishing, sometimes pretty major restructures.
What’s the Latest Update on The Winds of Winter?
Rest assured, all hope is not lost.
What Will The Winds of Winter Be About?
The upcoming novel hints at a further exploration up north and the return of the Others.
Each of these characters will receive their own POV chapters.

With the skyrocketing popularity of his books and television projects, theres obviously the mounting pressure attached to it.
Instead of getting to work on the project, Martin does literally everything, except writing.
