And to be fair, she told us the wait would be long. She said she would take time to herself, etc. The waiting has been terrible but it's not like she promised us anything.The tweet gave us hope but it was just a reminder why she's stayed quiet about the album. Don't want to say anything that may or may not happen.
I do believe she felt the album could finished by the end of the year though and probably planned to release it but still wanted to do a little more work. With that said, the album should be almost finished. If she felt later this year was a possibility then it has to be pretty far along and she has to be pretty satisfied with it.
I think January is a strong possibility. Could've just decided to wait until the new year/after the Holidays. I don't buy the stories that say she's unhappy with it and I don't think she's still doing THAT much work on it at this point. She's been working on it for almost 2 years now.

That would make 0 sense. If she was unsure of it, she would have never teased a possible release knowing it would become major news.

About the bolded: THANK YOU. No, really, you have no idea how hard I try to articulate this point to the people on adele.tv and they're always like "how do you even know she delayed it", "you shouldn't put that much hope in a tweet she made laying in bed on her birthday", blah, blah. Despite it being my first "home" as a Daydreamer online, I think I'm starting to just give up over there, they're even more bitter than I am
And I really hope you're right about January. It would be similar to her previous two albums, it has few distractions from holidays or other artists, she could have a sweet performance at the Grammys the next month, the whole year to spread out a tour before her the awards season the next year...just about perfect.
I think if we don't get anything--not even at the very least an official announcement of things coming soon--in those first few months of the year, not only will the backlash begin but we might have to start wondering if there's something really up behind the scenes
