Reminiscent of the situation at the end of the writing process on AFFC.

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

Still more SoIaF news

Maybe he should split it in half. Make it a kind of split-by-characters.

Not trying to be snarky here, but isn't his blog publicly available?

I guess. It just sort of reminds me of the people who would post Onion stories back at wotmania.

Perhaps someone could create a single sticky thread for all pre-Dance completion news. *NM*

I didn't think it was generally known that he had pushed back an Arya chapter. I didn't know anyway.

Agreed, I could go for a split in publication as long as the two parts came out a few months apart.
