Apologies for the slightly off-topic post…
It’s not looking good, folks…
George R R Martin confirms he hasn’t written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.
He wishes that they were finished.
The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.
Obligatory song that’s now 12 years old… https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI
Martin gave a more nuanced answer in which he said he envied authors who self-publish their books and thus don’t have to worry about deadlines
Like this bitch is worried about deadlines. Like deadlines mean a goddamned thing to him. I remember when Game of Thrones started airing wondering if he could finish the books before the show ended. This seemed like a possibility at the time? I don’t even remember. All I know is there has been nothing for 13 years. 13 years. I get it, he’s having more fun with other shit, but just hire someone to ghostwrite them with you. This is your main legacy, whether you want it to be or not.
