The series is over, we have to wait a bit for the first spin-off – but there are also the “Game Of Thrones” books! And their author finally promises the long-awaited replenishment “The Winds Of Winter” for 2021.
At the beginning of the corona crisis, George RR Martin announced that the self-isolation that was necessary for him also had something good: he would finally be able to write more. Several months later, the “Game Of Thrones” author now reports that he was indeed hardworking – and still is.
On his blog Not A Blog he gave his readers an update to the sixth volume of his “The Song of Ice and Fire” series:
With “The Winds Of Winter” he is currently making very good progress. Martin expects to end the novel in 2021 – and hopefully not only the book will be finished, but also COVID-19.
“At least the forced isolation was good for helping me write,” said the author. “I write long hours every day at ‘The Winds Of Winter’ and make steady progress.” He even mentions this progress in concrete terms – and it’s not that bad: “I ended a new chapter yesterday, another one three days ago and another last week. “
“It will be a huge book”
That doesn’t mean, of course, that the novel will be finished tomorrow and will be published next week – because it will be a “huge book” and that takes time. He still had a long way to go and some days were worse, some better. But overall, he is satisfied with how things are developing.
However, he was far from being able to set the pace as fast as was the case with volume 3. For “A Storm Of Swords“*, The two-part in Germany”Storm of Swords“* and “The queen of dragons“*, But also as a whole volume”Sword storm“* Was published, he wrote an average of 150 pages per month.
“I fear I will never reach this speed again. Looking back, I don’t really know how I did it back then. ”
Prequel-Serie “House Of The Dragon”
By the way, George RR Martin not only writes on “The Winds Of Winter”, but is also an executive producer and co-creator on the “Game Of Thrones” prequel series “House Of The Dragon”.
