He failed to meet this deadline, but if he thought he could hit it then surely it was close to completion?Īnyway, he then went on to say that Winds was his number 1 project. He explained that he thought he could meet a deadline for October 2015 to hand in Winds, which would get it published before the new season of GoT. In 2016 he put out a blog post which he apologised to his fans for missing a deadline. The writing history for Winds is bizarre. True, but he needs to stop dangling the fucking carrot in front of our faces. George is his own boss and he can work on what he wants when he wants. The man then goes onto list all these Game of Thrones spin off shows he's working with HBO, plus other shows that aren't HBO related. And another book after that, a Who’s Who in Westeros. There’s a lavish coffee table book coming later this year, an illustrated, condensed version of FIRE & BLOOD done with Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson (my partners on THE WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE), and my Fevre River art director, Raya Golden. I need to write more of the Dunk & Egg novellas, tell the rest of their stories, especially since there’s a television series about them in development. Got a couple hundred pages of that one written, but there’s still a long way to go. (Thinking of calling that one BLOOD & FIRE, rather than just F&B, Vol 2).
In addition to WINDS, I also need to deliver the second volume of Archmaester Gyldayn’s history, FIRE & BLOOD. But Westeros has become bigger than THE WINDS OF WINTER, or even A SONG OF ICE & FIRE. The world of Westeros, the world of A SONG OF ICE & FIRE, is my number one priority, and will remain so until the story is told. I made a lot of progress on WINDS in 2020, and less in 2021… but “less” is not “none.” I have stated that a hundred times in a hundred venues, having to restate it endlessly is just wearisome. Yes, of course I am still working on THE WINDS OF WINTER.
I know, I know, for many of you out there, only one of those projects matters. Here is part of his blog post, but the full post is linked below. Judging by Mr Martin's latest blog we're all going be waiting a lot, lot longer. For this reason, I've always defended George RR Martin's writing pace. Although incomplete, it's one of my favourite fantasy series and I'd class Storm of Swords as one of the best fantasy novels to ever grace my eyes. I've been a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire since I picked up the series in 2000.
