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

You are the one who is being cynical by refusing to admit that his continuously moving back deadlines and going back on his word is frustrating. When someone continuously says that they are going to do something and when goes back on it a person starts not to trust that person anymore. Except for you of course because you are so virtuous and better than the rest of us because you are immune to frustration and never get annoyed when you are lied to.

That's not what cynical means. Also GRRM admits he's bad at deadlines and tries not to give them. This year he said he hopes to have it done by the end of the year, but admits he thought the same thing last year. That's very forthcoming in my opinion. It would be much easier to give a date, miss it, give another date, etc.

I'm not virtuous and do get annoyed when I'm lied to, I just don't take GRRM's hope to finish by a certain time as a binding promise.
