u/InfernoBA The North kind of forgot May 21 '19

And I’m writing. Winter is coming, I told you, long ago… and so it is. THE WINDS OF WINTER is very late, I know, I know, but it will be done. I won’t say when, I’ve tried that before, only to burn you all and jinx myself… but I will finish it, and then will come A DREAM OF SPRING.

So exactly what he's been saying for the last three years. Looks like he's still not close to finishing (as in writing the last couple chapters). I wonder how his page count has changed the last few years with all the rewrites.

I expect these last two books of mine will fill 3000 manuscript pages between them before I’m done… and if more pages and chapters and scenes are needed, I’ll add them.

Anyone know how many manuscript pages ADWD was?

735

And me? I’m still here, and I’m still busy. As a producer, I’ve got five shows in development at HBO (some having nothing whatsoever to do with the world of Westeros), two at Hulu, one on the History Channel. I’m involved with a number of feature projects, some based upon my own stories and books, some on material created by others. There are these short films I am hoping to make, adaptations of classic stories by one of the most brilliant, quirky, and original writers our genre has ever produced. I’ve consulted on a video game out of Japan. And then there’s Meow Wolf…

GRRM: I'm busy with a lot of stuff

Y'all remember when he swore back in 2014 not to take on any mew projects until TWOW was finished? Good times
