Just two monthsafter swear off giving Winds of Winter updates , perpetual updater and author of Winds of Winter George R.R. Martin has an declaration : he has a Winds of Winter update .
Who ’s to say what prompted his decision to recently blurt out on a livestream that the book — over a decennary in the making — is around 75 % done . perhaps Martin draw a blank he ’d told hoi polloi to shut up and allow him finish , because he ’s been updating people on this book forover a decade nowand just ca n’t help himself . perhaps he ’s in that post - House of the Dragon finale glowand just got catch up in the hype . Maybe this is the actual concluding update , a warning that now that we know just how far along he is we can rough reckon how much longer we need to wait forThe Winds of Winter . perchance he hopes we ’ll be so distracted by trying to map out that guesstimate we ’ll give him the time to finish the last 25 % .

But that ’s not 100 percentage done , so I have to continue oeuvre on it . ”
