During the livestream, George claimed that The Winds of Winter is “about three-quarters of the way done,” but he was hesitant to supply a release ate. He also revealed that this will be the longest Game of Thrones title yet, calling it “a monstrous book as big as a dragon,” via Esquire.

“I’ve given up making predictions, because people press me and press me: ‘When is it going to be done?’ And I make what I think is the best case estimate, and then stuff happens. Then everybody gets mad that I ‘lied.’ I’ve never lied about these predictions. They’re the best I can make, but I guess I overestimate my ability to get stuff done, and I underestimate the amount of interruptions and other projects, other demands that will distract me,” he went on to caution.
