It'll be released. It'll be crappy, but it'll be out.
Spring won't. He's gonna die.

Sigh...
I can already imagine his blog post in January. "I made progress on Winds, not nearly as much as I wanted though."

My sources say it's coming out right after Doors of Stone.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Will people stop joking about his health like that? When the fuck did this become acceptable? If it was anyone else you'd be vilified, but because it's George no one seems to bat an eye?
It's really, incredibly annoying and makes you seem so petty that someone dying is doing YOU a disservice. Sigh.

Week 8 is bye week for the Giants so things should really pick up then, guys.

All will be released at once as a surprise.

It's not like he's that old either.
Fat people live well into their 70s all the time guys.

Hasn't George recently said that he isn't going to finish the book unless Trump wins the election?
Not really, but wouldn't that be some shit?

Eventually, I'm sure. But Dream of Spring? Who knows.
I definitely want to read but my expectations are low based on the last two books, some great parts in between a shit ton of slogging.

When they come out, I hope they're materially and substantially different from the TV show. I'm talking a whole new ending, plot twists, etc.
Otherwise you're just basically waiting for the novelization of something you already know.

That's almost as arbitrary as saying that he will only work on the book using a very specific computer from 1985 using Wordstar 4.0.
It'll come out, but almost certainly not this year. When it does, it will probably be a rambling mess to some extent, just like the last two books. The final book will never be released, I doubt even George believes he will complete it.
The show will be the only resolution we ever get, and I'm fine with that.

I have kinda made my peace with the fact that it will take years and there is a good chance it will be finished by someone else.
I do laugh at my friend who wont watch the TV series because he is waiting for the book series to finish.

Eventually. I hope for next year, but I've given up on making any serious release date predictions.
Are you guys planning on re-reading the series when TWOW (eventually) releases?
I've basically forgotten the finer details given that I last read it in 2011, but I'd be worried about burnout given you'd be reading 6 books.
Although this may be pointless concern if we are waiting another half decade.

You can just feel this lumbering beast of a story getting away from him in the last two books.
It's still good writing, mind you, but it makes the pace of the first book seem blazing fast in comparison.
No way am I trudging through Feast and Dance again.

I just assume it won't. That way, it will be a nice surprise if it does.
I feel those books are actually better if you read each chapter more slowly and "take it in," as it were. Well, except the endless Jon and Dany chapters which all feel exactly the same.

George RR Martin has written more about the NFL that he has written for the Winds of Winter.
It's never happening. He's done. Even if you assumed he was writing at the same slothful pace he did for ADwD he wouldn't be slated to finished TWoW until 2022.
On April 6th of next year the wait for TWoW will surpass the wait for ADwD.

I would say 6 years.

What's really jarring is to read Feast/Dance then circle back and start reading GoT again.
The change in pacing will give you whiplash and really drive home how much of a slog Feast and Dance are.

Dance with Dragons came out, anything is possible
