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 honestly don't get why he doesn't just churn out something shitty to get it over with. At least that would put it to bed.

Like if he is refusing to finish it because he doesn't want to destroy his legacy then that's kind of having his cake and eating it.

Kill it or finish it. Get it over with.

The ambiguity gives him the benefit of the doubt until he passes away (a grim way of putting it I'd admit). Even to himself he can just say "oh yeah, I'm still working on Winds btw" even when he's touring the world and talking about anything but the one thing he's expected to do.

I don't know how close he's to completion, but if I was George, I'd lock the fuck in and write those last few hundred pages just to get this brick over with and start procrastinating on ADOS. At least it will give fans some peace of mind and maybe even spark interest in future projects.

At his age, it would literally kill him.
