I guess plan for a Summer Winds of Winter Release unless there’s another unforseen delay #GameOfThrones t.co/FjDfgxzpze

Waking up to GRRM's blog post and coming to terms with the fact that The Winds of Winter is never coming out?

Suffice it to say that landing only to see GRRM's The Winds of Winter update was not a fun way to kick off the new year. Very disappointing.

But Some Fans Are Taking It In Stride and Encouraging Martin

Not everyone was quite so devastated. Some fans were very encouraging to Martin, in fact. Meanwhile, other fans simply weren’t surprised.

@GRRMspeaking I'm not mad about winds of winter and i actually want you to take your time. Ill still read the books and watch the show.

Are people genuinely surprised Winds of Winter isn't coming before Season 6? #GameofThrones
