Game of Thrones Writer George R.R. Martin Gives Update on Next Book

As an ardent fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating news about George R.R. Martin’s next masterpiece, “The Winds of Winter,” and I was thrilled to hear recent updates from him! This highly-anticipated sixth book in the Game of Thrones series was teased following the publication of “A Dance with Dragons.” Although Martin has assured us that he’s close to wrapping it up, fans like me have been waiting patiently for over a decade now.

George R.R. Martin says he is ‘still working’ on The Winds of Winter book

George R.R. Martin, the writer behind A Song of Ice and Fire, recently had a chat about the progress of his upcoming book, The Winds of Winter.

During the interview with TIME, the interviewer mentioned a popular meme about George R.R. Martin and the return of the direwolves from the Game of Thrones show. The meme suggested that these ancient creatures had resurfaced online, yet Martin’s new book was still unpublished.

As a passionate gamer, if I were talking about the book “Winds of Winter,” I’d say something like this: “Man, this book has been my constant companion for 13 long years now. You know how it is when you’re deeply engrossed in a game and other real-life distractions keep popping up? It feels like that! I’ve had moments where I feel I’m making great progress, only to be sidetracked by deadlines for HBO shows or some other commitments. But I’m hanging in there, trying to bring this game (or book) to its conclusion.

Martin additionally addressed fans who speculate that his other endeavors, such as his bookstore, playhouse, and recent involvement with the re-creation of direwolves through Colossal Biosciences, might have slowed down his writing process for the book. The author is also a stakeholder in Colossal Biosciences, the organization responsible for resurrecting the direwolves.

George R.R. Martin clarified that working on the direwolves project didn’t significantly interfere with the writing of “The Winds of Winter,” and he emphasized that they aren’t mutually exclusive, contrary to some perceptions.
