The Winds of Winter

George R. R. Martin posts an update on the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter:

"THE WINDS OF WINTER is not finished. 

Believe me, it gave me no pleasure to type those words. You're disappointed, and you're not alone. My editors and publishers are disappointed, HBO is disappointed, my agents and foreign publishers and translators are disappointed... but no one could possibly be more disappointed than me. For months now I have wanted nothing so much as to be able to say, "I have completed and delivered THE WINDS OF WINTER" on or before the last day of 2015. 

But the book's not done."

I'm not surprised that it's not finished. I will be surprised when it is. This next statement did surprise me.

"Look, I never thought the series could possibly catch up with the books, but it has."

Have you seen a calendar? Can you do basic math?
