re: Will George R Martin ever finish Winds of Winter? Releasing another story

Dude has been writing his entire life and has written one of the most popular series of all time. You and the other twats complaining about how fast he writes should calm the frick down. He's a professional. He knows what he's doing. I'd rather him wait and take his time writing something good than produce something shitty just to please impatient fans.

I would have a lot less problem with his writing speed if I hadn't seen exactly how many times he has missed self imposed deadlines by constantly going on vacation/tours. And not miss deadlines by months, but years. And offer extremely shitty excuses as to why.

Not to mention how whiny he is. He has taken a month off of writing before because his favorite NFL team got kicked out of the playoffs. Given how much he was campaigning for Hillary, her loss probably set back the next book by at least a year while he mopes.

At this point, saying that he is delaying because he has writers block and not sure how to get to his envisioned end story is the kindest thing you can say.
