George R.R. Martinis currently hard at work completing his next epic novel in hisA Song of Ice and Fireseries calledThe Winds of Water.He has been constantly updating fans about the progress of the book and it has already been 12 years since he started writing the book.
Fans have been criticizing the writer for taking too long with the book and now Martin is addressing those fans in his latest update regarding the book. He said, (viaCulture Crave)
“I’ve been working… I’m 12 years late with ‘Winds of Winter,’ … I’m just going to put it right out there, you guys don’t have to pester me about it”
Earlier this year, he wrote in hisblogthat he has been making steady progress with the book by saying,
“And yes, yes, of course, I’ve been working on WINDS OF WINTER. Almost every day. Writing, rewriting, editing, writing some more. Making steady progress. Not as fast as I would like… certainly not as fast as YOU would like… but progress nonetheless. It keeps me out of trouble.”
It seems Martin wants his fans to be more patient and believe in him that he will put out the book as soon as he completes it. Although he is taking a rather long time than his other books, he is only doing that in order to produce a highly satisfying work that will fulfill everyone’s desires and give a cathartic experience to its readers.

He’s gone from “any moment now!” to “just a few more years, just you wait!” to “5 years tops, I swear” to “yeah yeah I know, shut up.”
