Game of Thrones - Spanish publisher may have let out some big news

[NewJeffCT]

This is from the usually reliable Watchers of the Wall website - but, the Spanish language publisher of A Song of Ice & Fire let slip (?) that he was told he'll be getting a copy of The Winds of Winter to translate next year. Of course, next year could be 4 months from now in January, or it could be 15 months from now around Christmas of 2016.

My hope is it gets released right before Season 6.

1. Exciting, but I refuse to believe it.

When it comes to GRR Martin, 1 year is 4 in my mind.
So, till that book is on the shelves of my local Barnes and Noble, I don't just want to get my hopes up.

2. I'm taking it with a grain of salt

but, he did get the first three books out fairly quickly: 1996, 1998 and 2000.

He also said he lost momentum after book 5 because he took on way too many media appearances -promotions, conventions, interviews, etc. Hopefully, he's learned his lesson and can get book 7 out more quickly than he did books 4, 5 and 6.

3. I feel like he's just enjoying his movies in his theatre in NM right now.

Here's to hoping.

4. They're making the novel and movie "Misery" into a Broadway play

With Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf in the lead roles. George RR Martin has made me more sympathetic Annie Wilkes' character.

5. Frankly I've accepted the fact that the next George R R Martin character to die

will be George himself. Before the next book.

6. he's already dead

in a season 2 of Z-Nation, he plays a "celebrity" zombie in some weird scenario about some guy that collects celebrity zombies.

8. George RRM is laughing at us.

He is probably further ahead in writing than most people realize.
