I'm taking this with a big grain of salt, but I can't imagine he would post this sort of thing if he didn't think he was making good progress.

Honestly I don't even know if I would read TWOW at this point, but I would be happy for him if he manages it.

It's gonna be crazy if he dies before finishing and we get a bunch of takes saying how selfish he was for waiting so long. You know it would happen.

Let's be clear though, GRRM does not actually use Twitter. He has people that run his Twitter account. He only posts on his blog.

Elden Ring...WTF? I thought Elden Ring was a Japanese game created by From Software? Is he like, the head of From Software or something? I'm so confused.

he is the muse for Miyazaki the director of Elden Ring. they would spend many long summer nights drinking ale and talking about the perfect try finger, but hole memes they would make if they ever got the chance

lol. Just trolling us now.

Which is fine, he is gonna finish The Winds of Winter then whatever else we get will be a bonus. Dude deserves to enjoy his remaining years however he wants.

It is pretty crazy though. I've had three different jobs, multiple promotions, bought a house, got married, and had a kid that turns two next week. All since the last book. But like I said, I've made my peace with the fact that he'll likely not finish the series.

He is still using WinXP. I seriously hope that this PC is not connected to the Internet.

I think I'm more entertained watching this man procrastinate than I would be from reading another ASOIAF book.

He seemed to think he was making good progress a decade ago. This means absolutely nothing.

Let's be clear though, GRRM does not actually use Twitter. He has people that run his Twitter account. He only posts on his blog.

As I mentioned, I'm still taking it with salt since I will believe it when I see it. But, whether he wrote it or his team, they must know posting this is just gonna invite a metric fuck ton of speculation and questions.

I think once you cooked so long that the food has long stopped burning and producing smoking, and you just have ash on your pot, maybe you should stop cooking. At least turn off the stove and do some good for the environment.
I think you have stretched the analogy to thin.
