The Winds of Winter Latest News: George RR Martin is said to Have Given Up Making Any Prediction - When it's Done, It'll be Done

The highly anticipated sixth book in the A Song Of Ice and Fire novel, The Winds of Winter, is by far will be released soon. As to when, we don't know yet. Even the Author George RR Martin, had expressed no timeline yet.

Martin was quoted as saying about writing the book, "I don't know, I have days where I make lots of progress, I have days where I make next to no progress, I have days where I think I'm going backwards because I don't like what I wrote yesterday. So I've given up making any predictions on that. I'm just writing it and when it's done, it'll be done."

Martin is the best selling author of the Game of Thrones phenomena, where the HBO TV show is adapted. As a scriptwriter for the show, Martin denied that his work on the TV series was stalling the books. "The TV show has nothing to do with my progress or lack of it. It's its own thing," he said.

However, Martin did confirm that he had decided to not write any scripts for the new series of Game of Thrones due to time restraints.

"I'm not writing a script for season 5, but I'm still a co-executive producer, so I'm still involved on that level," said Martin.

"It takes me about three weeks to a month to write a script, and with all the pressure to finish and deliver The Winds of Winter, I decided my time was better spent finishing the book than taking off three weeks to a month to get a script done."
