“Unfortunately, the writing did not go as fast or as well as I would have liked,” he continued. Indeed, to rebut accusations that he’s lost interest in the series, Martin wrote that he was desperate to get The Winds of Winter out before Game of Thrones season six aired in spring 2016, and even set several deadlines to that effect. “You can blame my age, and maybe that had an impact too.” But, he continued, “If truth be told, sometimes the writing goes well and sometimes it doesn’t.” ”You can blame my travels or my blog posts or the distractions of other projects and the Cocteau and whatever, maybe all that had an impact,” Martin wrote in a lengthy, self-flagellating blog post all the way back in January 2016. Martin himself is the only one who can say, and in his telling, the biggest reason for the delay is that he has been struggling with the writing itself. 2) Why is it taking Martin so long to write The Winds of Winter?

Martin’s most recent update on the book came Sunday, May 19, when he posted on his website that, contrary to recent erroneous reports, The Winds of Winter “has NOT been finished” - and that he is “working on” it.

Martin has posted the full text of seven chapters, and read another four aloud at various events.
One small consolation to fans who’ve been waiting for years, however, is that a decent chunk of The Winds of Winter has actually already been released. (However, Benioff and Weiss have made changes to Martin’s source material, so some of what we’ve seen may not be book spoilers at all.) He explained that, years ago, he walked the pair through his plan for how the books will end. “I don’t think Dan and Dave’s ending is gonna be that different from my ending,” Martin told 60 Minutes last month. In the process, they zoomed past Martin in his own story and revealed several major twists that the author has been planning for years and even decades - including, it now seems, the long-planned ending for the series. Weiss have filmed and aired seven full seasons of their HBO adaptation since the last book came out in July 2011 (the show debuted just a few months earlier, that April). Martin’s progress has been so slow that Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Martin says he will only set a release date once he’s close to finished with the book - and he’s still not finished, he confirmed again on Sunday, not long before the show aired its finale. The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in what Martin hopes will be a seven-book series, still has no planned release date. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, remain unfinished, with no end in sight.
