So, here it is. The part that everybody wanted to know about, for that matter. It's the last part of George R. R. Martin's New Year update.
1) The Winds of Winter is not yet done.
2) It will not be out before season six of Game of Thrones.
3) The book is close, but it might just stay like that for a while longer.
4) There will be spoilers, but we will probably not know what's a spoiler, until we have the book in hand.
5) There will be no more deadlines because deadlines don't seem to help the writing process.
What's news about that, really? All of the above is actually just confirmation of what used to be the most likely interpretation of events anyway. For me the real news is this: George has really been feeling the pressure and he is trying to find a new approach that puts him in a better position mentally do get more progress. Part of that approach is giving more information on his writing progress and not having deadlines anymore.
