George R. R. Martin is a has-been. He will never finish the Winds of Winter. He can't finish things, he can only start things, and he has lost interest. Even worse he has lost discipline. The Game of Thrones TV show windfall has made him fat and lazy. Stop waiting for the Winds of Winter from this fuck, you will never see it..... is what I keep telling myself every few months after I check on his progress again.
