Author George R. R. Martin is undaunted by all the pressure over the release date of "Winds of Winter" as he insisted, understandably, that he couldn't write faster even if he wanted to.

In an interview with BBC Radio, as shared by Wet Paint, the author opened up about his creative process even as the calls mount for him to finish the book as the events of "Game of Thrones" are threatening to overpass the timeline of the novels.

"I go over in the morning and sit down, I usually reread what I've done the day before to try to build up a little momentum," he said. "Sometimes if what I wrote the day before is not very good I spend the whole day rewriting what I did the day before. But hopefully I just rewrite a little and I'm sort of in the groove and then I go on and I write another scene or two."

A good day for George R. R. Martin in writing the "Winds of Winter" is about "five to six pages."

"But those days don't come very often, I wish they came more often. A lot of days it's kind of struggling, you know?" he added.

In a previous interview with Vulture, George R.R. Martin said the prospect about "Game of Thrones" passing the novels doesn't bother him one bit, because the release date for "Winds of Winter" will be announced when it's done.

"I've been hearing them come up behind me for years, and the question is, How can I make myself write faster? I think, by now, the answer is, I can't," he said. "I write at the pace I write, and what the show is doing is not going to change what the books are."

"The show, of course, has caught up to me, which I didn't actually think would ever happen," the author said during a dialogue at Northwestern University, as shared by Entertainment Weekly. "I had such a huge lead, but the truth is, I'm a very slow writer."
