Says an op-ed piece in Forbes Magazine. It's the argument a fan is making, not something George himself said or even really alluded to.

I haven't even seen that op-ed, Pete. That's not what I'm talking about.
Yeah but everything i've seen over the last day is citing this piece.
What I'm referencing is from a week ago, though. Not the last day.

When he said volume 1 of Fire and Blood is coming out in 2018 and not Winds of Winter?

F&B will be two volumes. Vol 1 in 2018 and he said that vol 2 is "is hardly begun." Given that we've waited longer for Winds of Winter than we've waited for any other ASoIaF book so far, plus given the way he chooses to write, plus the fact that HBO is developing more GoT entertainment, plus all the other offers he has on the table for new shows, plus all the stuff he's doing as an editor...
Do you really think Winds of Winter is coming any time soon? Do you really think it'll be out before the end of the HBO series next year?
Of course not. There's no chance. There's zero chance that Winds of Winter happens before Vol 2 of F&B. It's time to come to grips with what I've been saying for a while now that once a story is told, a writer has little interesting in telling it again. I'll put the chances of Winds of Winter being published before 2025 at 8%.
Hopefully, he won't be dead by then.

Yet this is still all speculation of GRRM's mindset.

I disagree. As a writer, I think his mindset is firmly, "why should I bother finishing this story if HBO is gonna do it?"

Yeah, "I think his mindset is..." is speculating. George never said "I'm not interested in finishing this story if HBO is gonna do it".
