I have absolutely no evidence to support this, just blind delusion.
Yes... Your delusional
I think what you'll get is a situation where he holds out some chapters from TWoW and moves them to ADoS because it fits the narrative better. He's done this in the past, but it sure didn't speed up subsequent books.
In fact, it might slow him down. I think I read somewhere that he'll tinker with completed chapters that he's held over.
Finish chapter--> hold over for next book--> Tinker with chapter to fit better within it's new resting place.
I think we'll see TWoW in early 2017, but after that bets are off if he finishes. Even if he completes ADoS by sometime in 2023, I'm not sure that will finish up the story. He really needs to get to the point with the white walkers. They were one of the first things we see in the books, and not much since. The show has done a much better jobs at conveying them as the real threat.
