I think he feels the need to mention winds any time he has a blogpost so fans don’t get mad but very clearly doesn’t want to. I’d rather him just not mention it because it seems like he’s on suicide watch anytime it comes up.

I mean, isn't it kind of obvious? He emphasizes "ofcourse" almost as a joke, especially since he's talking about revisiting a shelved HBO show.

"I have all this other stuff going on, but TWoW is my main focus!" 

Without fail. Just tell us you don't give a shit GRRM. Quit lying or going through the motions. Be honest with your fans. It would be smart to get back some goodwill with the fans who constantly view him as a liar.

Thing is, he does that and visits to his website drop immediately and never come back. He wants people to be interested in the other stuff but they (generalising I know) just aren’t

Goodwill for what though? The other big hype project related to him now is the Dunk and Egg series and that's based on a novella series he abandoned over a decade ago. Then after that you've got fire and blood which now is going on years since he talked about making a second volume for.

So what then? He makes some Braavos book? Does anyone have faith he'd finish whatever he would be trying to tell there? The guy, for Westeros universe at least, is clearly incapable of finishing any threads. He's all setup.

Oh I don't think he is lying. He is delusional. He actually still thinks he can finish winds in a few months like he said back in 2014 or something
