It turns out that Paste is not the only one to pester George R.R. Martin for news on his forthcoming novel The Winds of Winter, which will be the sixth book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. No, we’re not alone—readers of his blog are on the case as well.
In response to a long post about the New York Giants—Martin is a big NFL fan—a devotee going by the name J. Snow laid it on the line in a comment titled “Really George”:
As i stated in my last attempt, i respect you immensely and do not want you to rush or release anything untill you are completely satisfied with it.
That being said, it has been a whole year since we have received an updated. You have placated our hunger with another superb sample ch. (the Forsaken), and for that, we are grateful. But unless you want to be bombarded with im’s like this, i would suggest another updated.
Even if its as simple as, ‘not done yet, but ive made progress( or not) ’, or ’ it’ll be out this year (or not)’. Anything(or not). Either way, have a great new year, and thank you for, imo, the best fantasy series out there.
