I don't think people are filled with hopelessness or dread when thinking about Dream. The community has pretty much accepted the reality we will never get this book, it is what it is. The dread is whether or not Winds at least will come out or not. And yeah, Dreams won't be as hard to write, this is typical of all stories. Usually it's the beginning and the end that are the easiest to write, just filling the middle is what's tough, and the transitions between the middle and the beginning/end is what's hard.

He might want to rewrite a lot for the final book though. I would imagine he'd want to get every ending and every major death or surprise exactly right and by the right viewpoing character, plus we know he has a hard time deciding from who's perspective he would write chapters when some of them meet (like with the Meereeneese knot) so the final two books will be difficult in that sense: a lot of rewriting, trial and error; which is what has kept him stuck with Winds all this time.

I think… probably pretty controversially… that George plans on releasing winds and then dying with maybe a little bit of spring done and having that be the legacy.

Either way he isn’t risking his legacy with fucking up the ending.

He probably sits down to think about it, then gets mad at everything and proceeds to take a break for a month. It’s also possible he just rewrote the book in 2016 and is stuck on this thing since 2018 but still, writing yourself into a corner is pain in the ass.

Greetings... I have worked with "Gardener" type writers in my past career. "Gardeners" have a tough time continuing a story line that they've walked away from, regardless of the reason. Add to this the note "Bram is King". Giving a "Gardener" a 'locked in' ending gives them fits. "Gardeners" by nature (pun intended) let the story grow along its own lines. They cannot easily guide it. With that being said I believe (based on my professional experience as an author and creative consultant) if George finishes WoW, ADoS will be the hardest book for him to finish. Unlike Jo Rowling, who is an "Architect" type, finishing his work while other jobs are swirling around is nearly impossible. George needs to step away from everything else to even have a chance to finish such an immense saga.
@vandalman82 ай бұрын
It's going to take more than 2 books to finish the story. I'm thinking 4. We MAY get 1 100% written by GRRM. After that the next will be around half george, then less than a third. The final will likely just be a raw outline of how the story ends from grrm. Maybe some quotes from George. The gaps will be from ghost writers.

I think part of why Winds is taking so long is because he basically has to write Dream simultaneously. Or at least, get his plan all ironed out. Each decision he makes, he kind of has to follow it through logically to the end of the story. So his “gardening” is taking much longer, because every time he writes something new, he can’t ignore its implications, and probably has to go rewrite things to make it all work together. So, hopefully, Dream is much more fleshed out in his mind already by the time Winds is done, similar to how Clash of Kings was pretty quick to write, because it was just a bunch of fleshed out ideas that didn’t fit into AGOT.

I have wondered for a while, considering how much everyone hated Season 8, if the pressure to write a better ending is so great, that he is just too afraid to actually release anything at this point.

Releasing this finale, and having everyone hate it, would probably be such a blow to him in his mind.

the most optimistic take on the lengthy time he’s taken for releasing winds is that he’s doing writings for both (which he’s not). Then he’s probably been battling another meeranes knot/5 year gap in winds. The only hope is that the way HotD has been treated will give him some tremendous motivation to finish his book. Edit. GRRM has talked about how he struggles to write beats he already knows than completely new territory.

One thing you’re not accounting for is the fact that George has referred to himself as a gardener, and so there may be more plots and characters popping up throughout the last two books which will impact his ability to resolve story lines. Perhaps that is one of his big struggles with Winds and why it’s taken so long, eg he is going back and forth with his editors and himself cutting out newly sprouted ideas from his garden as opposed to letting them grow and then having to manage them with all the rest.

I honestly don't think he's been working on the book 5% per year. It's more likely that he's not been working on the book at all. Think about that massive project you were super excited when you started but at some point it became less interesting and too complicated to finish, so you put it aside indefinitely and it gets harder and harder to restart working on it. And in the meantime you even forgot what you did already for that work and are less used to actually do the daily grind needed to work on that project, which makes it even harder go back to work on it again.

Thats the only way I see it getting finished (mainly dream. I think he can finish winds eventually on his own). Is he to stubborn to accept help? Is he overburdened by other projects? Well sorry but those other projects aren’t going to cement his legacy as an all time great. Only ASOIAF will. Screw the shows. I know he’s had a rough few years as well personally. I hope he can heal from that and find some hope and peace. I love the man and his work. It’s just a bummer that it’s not finished already.

While i fully agree that Winds must be extremely hard to writte with way to many moving parts and with the sentiment that some parts of Spring are likely written on his MS Dos PC and the final parts are surely done in his mind i do not think that GRRM has the strength in him to release Twow and directly hopping into Springs just to go full throttle, pedel to the metall high octane on it. GRRM has lost many friend and collegues in the last years which surely made him think about himself and realisticly he must know himself that he barely has the strength in him to finish Winds. I suspect he might have already a secret co-writter going who with GRRM inputs, partial works etc. is already writting a halfcooked version of springs. Then once Winds is finished, GRRM will start a writter by numbers type half editorial, half writter to add onto the baseline that has been written according to his instructions beforehand so he can on one hand finish his magnum opus as well es enjoy happy times with his loved ones instead of suffering / working hard on a doomed project. Its an out there theory but with him enjoying editing and his successfull adventures into co-writing projects such as blood and fire and elden ring + his cryptic ass block post about dreamers and him having these sus visits to his publisher something is brewing underneath the surface and sadly it doesnt seem to be winds this year. Additionally I cannot believe that GRRM still has to write more then maybe 5 to 10% of Winds for as its mentioned he must have the "Dream of Springs" effect going that the puzzle increasingly taking on the right shape and he has to fit in only the last pieces albeight those might be hard ones to fit. Additionally he must be getting a large morale boost towards the finish line as basicly everyone gets when any larger writting project is nearing its completion.

I've been saying for a long time that I've made my peace with ASOIAF never being finished... but I'm rapidly moving toward true indifference. I've become more aware over the course of time of the subconscious racism and sexism in the story, and I no longer believe that the books would have an ending that's satisfying to me anyway. If GRRM had continued writing at his original pace and had finished the series in the aughts, I probably wouldn't have noticed the more subtle flaws. But since I have become aware of them, a certain disillusionment has set in. I mean, if the books come out, I'll read them, but it'll be out of intellectual curiosity alone. The series no long holds my heart.

A Winds of Winter would have also be easy to write if GRRM did not try to put every idea that enter his head. It is not that he did not have ideas on how it would end- his desire to make it the goat grimdark fastasy novel outweight his desire to end it.

It takes long because he will release everything at once maybe

This book is never coming out. He is 76 years old and WoW still isnt out.

Two steps ahead. He is always two steps ahead.

As he sits down in a race against time, without any signs of him standing up again.

He has no idea how Daenerys is going to go from Dragonstone to King's Landing. These are the details he just fills in as he goes. He knows Daenerys is going to get there at some point and probably become the mad queen somehow because some bad things happened on the way there. I would almost bet you money that's exactly how his outline for her character arc reads.

My friend's theory is that GRRM is trolling us. He thinks he's already done both books but they won't be released until after he dies.

I follow all kinds of winds of winter update videos and there was a mf who would genuenly comment under a video, answering everybody, saying " George already finished the book and will publish it in march 2024". He was so unironically ambitious that some of the users (including me) believed this guy, who supposedly was a friend of George's editors, was cooking something.

In five years, I expect to have found a partner, which means I’ll have something to occupy my time while she deliberates over her choices at the mall.
