Welcome back to the Liturgigoon thread, friend.
Jonathan Pryce is onboard? I might finally start watching this show after all.

I read on the show wiki that GRRM isn't writing an episode this season because he is concentrating on finishing book 6. Is that a good indication that it will be finished in the next year. or am I being a non-book reading sweet summer child?

If GRRM sacrifices even a single thing in order to actually write, and he actually does write I think it's a good indication that we might see book 6 within the next five years.

He claimed that he had book 5 already written and good to go in a short epilogue at the end of book 4....in 2005. Book 5 did not come out until 2011. He hasn't even pretended that he has any part of book 6 really done, and it seems very unlikely that it will come out before the show literally finishes the story. I'm not doubting he'll finish book 6. I just don't see it happening in the next few years at all. He actually intends the next two books to be 1500 manuscript pages each (which is slightly shorter than book 5, but he had most of book 5 done in 2005, so....).

To be fair to GRRM, there are completed chapters for book 6 on his website available as previews.

I hate to be mr no-fun but some people seem to think that it's a fact that he doesn't write ever, rather than just a joke about his current glacially slow progress. You do realize that it's a joke, right?
