The Winds of Winter discussion

Is it realistic to say that this book will be coming out before or on December of 2015? If he goes beyond that it will be the longest time hes taken to writing a book, I think, its been five years between feast and dance, so it will be like 6 years if he goes beyond this. Honestly im finding this a little pathetic, not for the reason that many other people do, but because the man goes to dozens of interviews and events, travels monthly, and he refuses to write on the go. Can you name me another author who refuses to do this? J.K Rowling said shed never go a day without writing. Arent all the aspiring authors told to write something EVERY day. I don't mean to offend him by this comment, but if im being honest its really making me sick. If I was an author as big as him, I wouldn't want to take so long with books, id want to write something else or at least have 20 books done with the amount of years hes taken to write 6. I honestly cant wrap my head around an author doing that, not at least taking a laptop and writing on long plane rides.




Also, the end of the last book made it seem like winter had finally come, after them yapping about their fear for 5 books straight, so hopefully the book starts when snows are falling, right?

Halfway through reading your comments, the GOT theme song started playing in my head (with lyrics by Try Parker and Matt Stone).

"Oh, don't worry, its coming! It will be here! Its on its way!!!"
I already have my heart set on finishing the next two books by 2024. Hopefully he doesn't disappoint me... but if he does I won't be surprised.
