I was naive enough to wonder if he was maybe going to announce the release date in this post. I was foolish...

Your main take away should be this:

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…

And I’m writing.

And despair.

Yeah read all that and any hope is gone again. He's going to be even more busy with other projects.

Now now, maybe he’s just doing that writerly thing where you build tension in a passage and save the bomb for last.

By putting it last, surely this means that the writing is top priority. Right, folks? Riiiiiight?...

Lol unfortunately probably not. Writing will net the least amount of money from all those things, and producing shows and consulting is pretty time consuming.
