Reminiscent of the situation at the end of the writing process on AFFC. Werthead Send a noteboard - 09/02/2010 05:38:08 PM
Starting a good 3-4 months before it was fully done, GRRM gave very similar-sounding updates for AFFC, reporting on its MS page size, noting when major POV chapters or character arcs were rounded off and so on. It appears he is doing something similar for ADWD.

I would not expect a completion announcment imminently (say within the next few days or weeks), but certainly I get the impression we are, at the most, no more than a few months away from such an announcement. In fact, given the previous three books were completed in May of their respective years, I wouldn't be surprised if we did get a completion announcement in May 2010. Although if it came sooner, that would be welcome :)

Maybe he should split it in half. Make it a kind of split-by-characters. - 05/02/2010 02:51:47 PM 624 Views
Not trying to be snarky here, but isn't his blog publicly available? - 05/02/2010 04:12:47 PM 637 Views

I didn't think it was generally known that he had pushed back an Arya chapter. I didn't know anyway. - 05/02/2010 07:01:08 PM 504 Views
