Could it BE?

George R. R. Martin has updated the part of his official site where he reports his progress on A Feast for Crows.

The short version: it ain’t done yet.

The worse version: it ain’t done yet, and it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be any time in the immediate future.

The testy version: it ain’t done yet, and you folks who are sending GRRM mean e-mails about can bugger off.

My speculation: At some point in the crafting of his tale, GRRM suddenly realized he had killed off each major character and had nobody left to write about.
