Winds of Winter update GRRM Cryptic message 

Winds of Winter is the GTA 6 of books. When it's announced it'll break the internet.

I’m not holding my breath but I am holding in a SCREAM!!!!!!!! I will cry when winds of winter is announced lol

Drink from the cup. Tis Cope of the Poppy! No, I'm actually seriously hopeful and BELIEVING that WOW is coming!

Most anticipated book of all time.

Winds of Winter is gonna be the biggest fantasy book release since Harry Potter 7.

Just when I thought I was out, THEY PULL ME BACK IN!

I swear to R'hllor, if I get hyped for TWoW again just to be let down, I will birth a shadow baby...

I’m on some heavy copium right now believing that winds will come in 2025

"I think he'll wait to release it after the season is over" is what I used to say during every season of GoT. Still, let's hope

We've been here before but somehow this one feels RIGHT

GRRM isn't cruel, he knows exactly what that blog post represents and what the community will take it as! I'm more hopeful now than I have ever been and I have been delusionally optimistic for a decade!

Words of Wisdom? He's either trolling or it's kind of a wink at us that it really is coming soon. He knows what happened last time he said words of wisdom so this is clearly on purpose. Or this is more copium but I am sucking it down anyway. XD

I think we'll know one way or another in two months but everything in the last few months has felt much more positive. He's feeling good!

Watch it be fire and blood part 2 lol

What no Winds does to a mf

I believe in him. He can release both books. If he finds a place of flow in his inspiration it's entirely possible.

This news is spreading like wild fire to the point where you think if it wasn’t true he would have to put some water on it.

I have said this in the earlier tease of "Words of Wisdom" and I am saying this again - We are getting a release date at World Con 24, Glasgow. Because : - Firstly, I definitely think it is not Blood and Fire or Dunk and Egg sequels, because the teases have been absolutely direct. And come on he cant be such a cruel mf to tease us with these WOW material and then give us a colouring book or any other book. - Secondly, Its been 14 fucking years now, and it has to be Winds of Winter. - The great dragon cake theory. - Recent meet up with his publisher. - Putting his assistants on hold and telling something is coming up. - A very much perfect time, because Season 2 of HOD will conclude and Dunk and Egg have started the production. Even if we look at the timeline and George's writing speed, I feel he needs at least an year or two to write further Dunk and Egg Novellas and since he has made a promise to the audience and himself that he will write D&E after WOW, I feel this is it!

My plan for the book when it finally is released is to only read one chapter per year, so I will have something to look forward to until the last book is released.

Yall’s optimism is honestly really inspiring.

I still think our boy George has been writing both books this entire time to be done with them once and for all.

I'm ready to get hurt again 😅

oh what a delusional fandom we are

Is happening, a raven spoke to me in a dream and told me winter si comming

Please GRRM now you've made fans try to locate a dragon shaped cake. you have to stop this

You're killing me, why are you giving me so much hope? It's 2 a.m. i should be asleep but i just can't now!!!!!! Damn it

Its gotta be close, he said 75% done in 2022. We're halfway through 24 now and he's finally going back to worldcon. Why would be even bother showing his face there if he didnt have something to show? Winds by Christmas this year.

Is it possible they timed S2 of HotD exactly to be over the Weekend before Worldcon? Because it is! And i can't belive this to be a coinsidence... 🤔

I did some digging and this is the third time George has named a post Words of Wisdom, but the first time he did was on 2014, almost ten before the Words of Wisdom with Faulkner and blue rose post, and that first one had a quote by George saying something like established writers gave newcomers a hand. So it's not common for George to post Words of Wisdom, so there is something there.

I started game of thrones in march, I’m midway through storm of swords now and I think I will finish Dance around late august. The three month wait until I can read Winds is going to be BRUTAL!!!!!!

Stop 😭 i’m so hyped for something i’m still not certain is coming this year

Time to remake Game of Thrones

I hoping for a big reveal after the HOTD finale

Winds will be the biggest book release in human history, and I say that will zero hyperbole.

WOW=WORDS OF WISDOM WOW=WINDS OF WINTER WORDS are WIND!!

I’ll believe when I have the book in my hands

From back in his interview with King, he said it pretty much done and as they got talking he let slip he had already written part of the final book as well (Tides of Spring? Forget it's working name) The update during season 8 (The tragedy) Martin talked about the shows upsetting finale and how so much of what he had written he had told the showrunners and they botched it hard. This left him now with knowing the audiences know what is coming leaving him with the decision to change things or rewrite entire storylines & perspectives. I hope the years since he weeded "the garden (his form of writing, slow and time to grow)" to deliver one hell of a book.

"It does NOT signify that some momentous announcement is at hand. "

We are Swifties now 💀💙

But does it really matter since we’ll NEVER get A Dream of Spring?

I'm currently getting through Feast. Gotta finish the Dance in time for WoW this holiday(?)!

Fire & Blood II will probably again exclude Summerhall, saving it for Dunk & Egg. I bet Bloodraven is behind Maester Corso's inkblot, to keep readers waiting until the end of days.

Words are wind

If we are following the Teddy's birthday idea, Faulkner's birthday is 25th September, so perhaps Winds will be split into two volume, released at different times, 25th September for part 1, 27th October for part 2, and if he released a third one of these, with a quote from someone born in November or December, then we can guess Winds will be split into 3 staggered release volumes

You can go back in march with another post being titled Words of Wisdom, on march 11. The tags of the post litteraly are #writing and #dreams. Writing A Dream of Spring. Lol.

It's so funny that he wants to be remembered in the same breath as Tolkien.

Winter is coming.

Genius moves at it's own pace. I will never disrespect the greatest fantasy writer of all time. This man unseated Shakespeare as my favorite writer. I wait patiently for him to finish his work. I want the quality not the quantity.

Lucy will definitely not pull the ball away this time! There was a time he was actually dropping chapters rather than hints of chapters. There was a time he was giving himself deadlines. If optimism was misplaced there, I can’t imagine the odds are better now, but of course I’m hoping.

Welp...time to start another re-read of ASOIAF in between some Sanderson novels!

SuperGainsBros: maybe you should buy a webcam that has the same high resolution as Jimmy's. Else-wise your videos are great. Keep up the good work, guys!

I feel they will announce it alongside the DOTD series finale so it doesn;t take away form the show but hypes it up to hold everyone over to Dunk and Egg .

How funny would it be if GRRM is just subscribed to a daily quotes mailing list, and him reposting quotes he likes to his Not A Blog is just his version of forwarding it to everyone in your address book. Totally oblivious to the chaos he is causing online right now lol The blue rose though is the big smoking gun

George’s countless blind alleys still in the book plots… Rhaegar’s eldest son is Young Griff = the legit heir to the Iron Throne! John Connington [not Jorah] is combatting the grayscale he was infected with saving Tyrion in the ruins of Valeria. Zombie Lady Stoneheart and Nymeria’s wolfpack terrorizing the Riverlands. Rickon is on mysterious Skaagos with Osha the wildling and hinted at monsters and cannibals. And don’t forget Quentyn Martell (slathered in Neosporin), Pretty Maris, the Tattered Prince, and Penny the dwarf. [All plots not incorporated into the HBO series because they did nothing to advance the ultimate stories of battling the White Walkers and Danaerys being as crazy as her father.]

Just got into the books and I’m so excited that there seems to be solid development and a possible completion of WOW. I remember watching a clip literally like 5-6 years ago before I even watched the TV series about how he was “almost done” with the book😂. I’m so excited to see the direction he takes in the book since the TV show flopped so hard towards the end. I am a bit worried about A Dream of Spring though.

This is some fine, high-grade, top-tier british east india company quality Copium . . . but I am cautiously optimistic.

When Winds is published I will read one word per day so it will last halfway through towards A Dream of Spring

Think I’m gonna cry

Im excited, but will he be alive for Dream of Spring?

Genuine question: The show was derived off of material that was never written in the last few seasons right? If this is the case - will WoW be completely different than the show? Mind you - I have not read one book.

Good thing I have Wind and Truth coming out this year, though Winds of Winter has been a long time coming.

Hi! Where did you hear that GRRM told Elio and Linda that he might have something in a year or two?

Can we get George on some Ozempic?!? This guy needs to stay healthy to write all this stuff in the next coming years.

Worth noting that he also posted the “Words of Wisdom” quote on his Facebook page - three days after it was posted on his Not a Blog. His Facebook page is also not as busy as his Not a Blog and tends to be more devoted to promotional content. So it’s, at the very least, a statement.

The WoW posts are great news, I think Grrm is signaling the book is complete or near complete. But the cake is most likely for FaB2. The timing for FaB2 makes more sense with all the HotD hype.

I am a huge fan of the show and the entire world of Ice and Fire (already read World of Ice and Fire, Fire and Blood and The Rise of The Dragon) and know some things that happen in the books because of the internet and I just started reading the Game of Thrones for the first time because I am delusional that when I finish the series the Winds of Winter will release :D

GEORGE DON'T PLAY WITH ME! I NEED THIS GEORGE!!!

Yes.... this has definitely gone from hopeful optimism to Winter is Coming

It’s coming soon! 🔜

I feel like he gon announce it in August and it will release probably around winter time hence "winds of winter"

I started reading first book back in 2017 thinking WoW will release in 2018-19 with last GoT season.... I forgot about book in the meantime and read it this year, and we still have no winds of winter lmaooo

It's got to mean it's 2 parts.

Being hopeful costs you your disappointment when what you hope for doesn't happen

Hey Jimmy! Found you through Lost in Roshar. Would love to have you on my podcast Fandoms and talk A Song of Ice and Fire. Also, get Christuan to come talk to me about stormligbt lol

Hey, Jimmy.... what do you think of bran pulling a Eren Yeager with the raven thing.... Matt have you read/watch Attack on titan??? We know hodor moment its GRRM, there is no way those guys added that to the show

Even IF we get winds we’re never getting dream

Hot take (or not): The reason why everyone is expecting TWoW is because the ending of A Feast with Dragons is missing. If George publishes all Winds chapters in TWoW, most of us will be Ok with waiting a decade for the end of the series, a few will even be Ok with ASOIAF not officially ending.

Look at the Hollows convincing themselves of hope.

Hot Dung is doing well so he started working on Fire & Blood Part 2.

The rumour mill is working up.to levels I haven't seen since 2017! 😂

He's went and done it again! I mean, he's teasing us, surely?!? I think it is time!

Denny survives, becomes a tyrant and begins a mad search for Targaryen descendants to fuck with..

The dragon cake could be to celebrate season 2 of HotD

He's gonna announce "A Feast for Winter" and "The Winds of Dragons" and that the series will be 12 books instead of 7.

I believe it when i see it

I feel it'll be disappointing. Now need Pat Ruffus to finish his doors of stone

kong is (possibly) dead.

Lol even if winds of winter is done he still needs to write the last book to finish the series. With how long this took that doesn't seem likely. He burned this bridge long ago

We'll get winds but not dream.

Imagine they released half the book and part 2 a year later 😂😂

Crazy theory, the final book is being written as well and be released within a year of winds of winter.

Weeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

When he announces that Winds is coming, the first question to him should be.. When is A dream of Spring comming? :D :D

Aint no way. We are never getting this book.

I wonder if he's going to release both books at once.. Since he's easily had the time to do so.. And it would make more sense to finish the story after this long of a break. Like if no ones heard any leaks at all from WoW, it's not impossible that he's also kept the last book a secret.

We getting winds of winter before gta 6

Look, the fact that AAI is finally getting an English port means that this is the summer of impossible things becoming possible. I believe in WorldCon theory 100%

If it was coming out, he would just tell us.

Pair this post with the one about dreams only having one dreamer at a time makes me so hopeful that it’s coming out soon and he’s writing some of a dream for spring, definitely being delusional but at least it’s hope!

Very suspicious that he’s posted like 5-6 times in the last 3 weeks. He’s usually a once every few weeks blogger…
