As long as those two assholes don't have anything to do with this series again, then I'm indifferent about what happens at this point. It bums me out. Also I'm totally blanking on their names, so if anyone knows who I'm talking about just based off that, I'd appreciate it. lol
Oh George. We understand you don’t have to spend every waking minute writing Winds of Winter but come on my man, it’s been 14 years.
George R.R. Martin Hits Back at Frustrated 'Game of Thrones' Fans “I know, I know,” Martin wrote. “Some of you will just be pissed off by this, as you are by everything I announce here that is not about Westeros or THE WINDS OF WINTER. You have given up on me, or on the book. I will never finish WINDS, If I do, I will never finish A DREAM OF SPRING. If I do, it won’t be any good. I ought to get some other writer to pinch hit for me…I am going to die soon anyway, because I am so old. I lost all interest in A Song of Ice and Fire decades ago. I don’t give a shit about writing any longer, I just sit around and spend my money. I edit the Wild Cardsbookstoo, but you hate Wild Cards. You may hate everything else I have ever written, the Hugo-winners and Hugo-losers, “A Song for Lya” and DYING OF THE LIGHT, “Sandkings” and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, “This Tower of Ashes” and “The Stone City,” OLD MARS and OLD VENUS and ROGUES and WARRIORS and DANGEROUS WOMEN and all the other anthologies I edited with my friend Gardner Dozois. You don’t care about any of those, I know. You don’t care about anything but WINDS OF WINTER. You’ve told me so often enough.”

Would just like to add context from the full blog post that it didn't sound like he actually meant that, he was just reiterating what people have said online.
***NO THIS ISNT THE NEWS*** *Chopping up the line of hopium* Just saw someone point out that GRRM himself hasn't updated his blog since October. The only updates to it since then have been by the minions. Feels like that could either be really good news because he's been working, or really bad news because he's too depressed about his lack of progress lol
Weren’t there rumors recently that he was bringing on the Expanse writers to help him finish? No idea if that’s valid but swear I remember reading it somewhere.
