So guys, we're all waiting for this sixth book, but how much time does GRRM still need to finish it? That's what We know so far: He said that TWOW and ADOS will be both 1500+ pages long, so the longest ASOIAF books. In April 2011, GRRM hoped that "the last two books will go a little quicker than this one has" and estimated that it would take "three years to finish the next one at a good pace".By October 2012, 400 pages of the sixth novel had been written, although He considered only the first 200 as "really finished", the rest still needing revisions. In April 2013, Martin estimated that he had a quarter of the book. In January 2014, Martin's UK publisher, Jane Johnson, declared on Twitter that the book would "certainly" not be published before 2015. In September 2014 Johnson stated that the book was "not a 2015 release", a statement she repeated in January 2015. In April 2015 GRRM commented on Not a Blog that The Winds of Winter will not be eligible for the 2016 Hugo Award which is awarded for science fiction or fantasy works of the previous year but he also said he would like to have it published before the sixth season of the HBO series Game of Thrones (which would cover material from the book) aired in 2016. In Autumn 2015, statements made by the Spanish editor and the Polish translator of the novel indicated that it was expected to be published in 2016.
In early January 2016, Martin confirmed that he had not met an end-of-year deadline that he had established with his publisher for release of the book before the sixth season of GoT. He added that there was "a lot still left to write" and that completion of the book was "months away still... if the writing goes well". Martin also revealed there had been a previous deadline of October 2015 that he had considered achievable in May 2015, and that in September 2015 he had still considered the end-of-year deadline achievable. In February 2016, Martin stated that he had dropped all his editing projects except for Wild Cards, and that he would not be writing any teleplays, screenplays, short stories, introductions or forewords before delivering The Winds of Winter.
On January 10, 2017, Martin announced on his blog in a response to a comment that he believed that The Winds of Winter will be released "this year", referring to 2017. However, he also noted that he believed the same thing would occur the previous year. He confirmed on his blog that he was still working on The Winds of Winter as of May 14, 2017, and continues now.
Yeah we have 8 chapters that he read or published on his blog, from 8 different POVs: Victarion, Aeron, Tyrion, Barristan, Arianne, Theon, Mercy (Arya), and Alayne (Sansa).
I really can't bear anymore this waiting.. But what can We do!? The last year I predicted TWOW out in 2017 but I don't think I was right (despite GRRM words..).. What do you guys think about the TWOW release date?
