For fourteen long years, fans have been waiting for The Winds of Winter. That wait has become one of modern literature's most infamous delays, sparking endless fan theories, frustration, and a single, recurring question: why can't he finish it? The answer, it seems, lies in one specific condition George R.R. Martin needs to write, and his complete inability to meet it.
Unlike other authors who can write in cafes or on aeroplanes, the 77-year-old writer must lock himself away to let his imagination run wild. Since Martin is constantly on tour or involved in other projects, The Winds of Winter remains on standby. He confirmed this in an interview with January Magazine.
