Yay for updates!

Your consistent optimism both confuses and amazes me, Dina. Keep it up!

LOL, I am not an optimist. I think  what I am is called "informed pessimistic" or something like that. I am always ready for things to go bad but I always root for good things to happen. For instance, I've accepted long ago that I may not live to see the end of the series, but after so much time without news I receive every update as a good event in itself. I don't need updates, JB is not forced to do them, so I am grateful for each one, as they are like small gifts, the bproof that things are going in the right direction (and that we are closer to a new book that we were before).

I have been summoned!

This speculation is false. Jim posted chapter 40 to the beta list this morning, and there's a heavy helping of awesomeness left to be written. I can't see the book coming out any time in the first half of 2019.

Your point of view is called pragmatism. I'm going write my own ending before I end.  That's called wishful thinking. :)

Yes, being a pragmatist is for the best, really. You always can get pleasantly surprised when things turn out for the best.
Wow, Jim can churn those chapters out. I wish I could write that fast!

WoJ, he is up to chapter 40 I think. So maybe august. I would guess that there will be 50 to 70 chapters in Peace Talks. Then again I have just settled into the thought it won't be out till 2020.  ;P

41 not 40. I posted this earlier.  From Reddit.  Speaking about a May publication date.

If he continues to write at this rate, and the book is 52 chapters (I think someone said that's the average length), he will be done on April 14th, I think. I did the math, but did it days ago. Just get 12/7/18 to 1/17/19 to get the amount of time he has written, then do 41 minus 36 to get the chapters he has written, then divide the two, then do 52 minus 41 to get the estimated chapters remaining, then multiply the answer from the division by that number. Then add however long for it to get published.

   Plus if he keeps his toes crossed and doesn't take any potty breaks..... ::)   As we all know the writing isn't the end of the process...  Maybe if we are lucky it will be in our Christmas stockings..
