Game of Thrones author and A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R.R. Martin has given an update on his long-awaited The Winds of Winter novel – and it's good and bad news.
In a new post on his Not a Blog page, Martin reflected on his summer. "Writing came hard, and though I did produce some new pages on both THE WINDS OF WINTER (yes) and BLOOD & FIRE (the sequel to FIRE & BLOOD, the second part of my Targaryen history), I would have liked to turn out a lot more," he commented. "My various television projects ate up most of those months. Some of that was pleasant (DARK WINDS, and THE HEDGE KNIGHT), most of it was not. "
