Too much to hope we might actually get TWoW before too long? Really good thing about GoT, it's made the wait for the books feel a lot shorter. It's been three years since ADWD was published. And I know GRRM gets killed about his writing times, but the fact is the guy delivered three thousand-page books in about four years. Granted, I don't know how much of them were already finished beforehand. And now that he's clear of the Meereenese knot and having to rewrite the five year time skip, I wouldn't be surprised if the words are flowing easier for him.
