Winds of Winter
The Winds of Winteris the forthcoming sixth novel in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fireby George R.R. Martin. The previous installment, A Dance with Dragons, covered less story than Martin intended, omitting at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliffhangers. Martin intends to resolve these cliffhangers "very early" in The Winds of Winter, saying "I'm going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to, the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen--the battle of Slaver's Bay. And then take it from there."

- Okay, let's talk about a theoretical figure, called the "1000x novelist", a very productive author who uses advanced AI to write novels really fast. Clearly super productive, because novels get written so very fast.
Now, here is a question:
George R.R. Martin has been writing on the 6th book of "Game of Thrones", titled "The Winds of Winter" (TWoW) for over 10 years. It still isn't finished.
What do you think, which will sell more copies: TWoW, or all novels of the 1000x novelist combined?
- > Dying before finishing the final book? That seems pretty likely.
BookS, in Jordan's case. Sanderson wrote at least two, I think maybe three.
Is Winds of Winter supposed to be the last or second to last book of aSoIaF; I thought there was supposed to be something like two more after that?

...I hope!
