The sixth book of the popular novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire" remains undone. According to reports, the earliest possible release for "The Winds of Winter" is in 2017, so fans should not expect it at the Worldcon.
Every time George RR Martin attends an event, he always reads a free "The Winds of Winter" chapter. In fact, some believe that they can collect the free chapters and compile a book. Due to this, there are rumors that "The Winds of Winter" is already done.
Parent Herald previously reported the book is already done and that George RR Martin is only waiting for a year-end release. However, in a separate report, after several updates about "TWOW" we learned that the book is unlikely to arrive this year.
Per Vine Report, George RR Martin admits that he is a slow writer, which suggests that "The Winds of Winter" is still in the works. "I'm a slow and painstaking writer," Martin told the Kansas City Star.
The "The Winds of Winter" author is honest enough to admit that there are good days and bad days while writing the book. During, good days, his creativity just goes out naturally but on bad days he struggles to write. As a result, he just resorts to reading emails.
Meanwhile, Christian Post reported that it is unlikely to see "The Winds of Winter" at the Worldcon. In fact, George RR Martin already debunked the rumors that he will make a big announcement about "The Winds of Winter" on the said event.
Although it is already confirmed that "The Winds of Winter" will not be in attendance at the Worldcon, many are hoping to hear another chapter in the upcoming book. There are rumors that George RR Martin might read the Cersei chapter on the said event.
Meanwhile, Parent Herald previously reported that the book is still not late. One fan studied George RR Martin's speed and according to him, the book is still on time if it comes out in 2017.
