I think a lot of fans have given up George R.R. Martin Complete his A Song of Ice and Fire saga. He has been working or not working on the next book in the series, winter windOver the years, as he’s aged, fans have come to terms with the fact that he’ll probably die before it’s completed.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Martin was asked what fans thought and he addressed the delay, saying:
“Unfortunately, I’m 13 years too late. Every time I say this [like]”How could I be 13 years late?” I don’t know, this kind of thing happens every day.
The article continues to emphasize winter wind Still his main focus, he said:
“But it’s still a priority. A lot of people are already writing my obituary. [They’re saying] “Oh, he’ll never finish.” Maybe they’re right. I have no idea. I’m still alive now! I look very energetic!
I don’t believe it winter wind This is a priority for Martin, as he has a host of other TV and other projects in the works, and the book seems to have taken a backseat to those.
He previously said: “Writing is difficult, although I did work on The Winds of Winter (yes) and Blood and Fire (the sequel to Fire and Blood, the second part of my Targaryen history). I’ve created some new pages, but I still hope to like the results more.
“My various TV projects took up the better part of these months. Some of them were enjoyable (Black Wind and The Hedgehog), but most were not.”
Martin has previously said, “If I could change one thing about one of my books, I would get them done.”
Back in 2023, Martin said he had only completed 1,100 pages of writing, making it a long book. Martin will make a big announcement once the book is completed, but I don’t think a lot of fans expected that.
It would be great if he did finish the book, though!
