Those claims are at odds with what the man himself is telling us with his own words. These updates are where my mind goes whenever I see a fan or critic claim that Martin has 'lost all interest' in finishing the books, or that he's deliberately taking on more than he can chew because he only cares about profiting from his unfinished story. Once more into the breach, dear friends…Westeros beckons.'

March 11, 2021: 'I need to finish WINDS, and then maybe write another Dunk & Egg novella, and then get right into A DREAM OF SPRING, and in between edit some more Wild Cards books.

Or maybe I just got on a roll.I still have hundreds of more pages to write to bring the novel to a satisfactory conclusion. The best year I've had on WOW since I began it.

February 2, 2021: 'I wrote hundreds and hundreds of pages of THE WINDS OF WINTER in 2020.

But I slogged on, and of late I am picking up steam again.' Progress has continued since then, but more slowly…I suffered a gut punch in early August that really had me down for a time, and another, for different reasons, in early September.

See? The major ending points will be things Martin told them.Here are quotes from the last three blogs that mentioned the book:

“But there may also be changes, and there’ll be a lot added.” “I mean, I think…the major points of the ending will be things that I told them, you know, five or six years ago,” he said. Martin even told Rolling Stonelast month that he thought he’d be somewhat surprised by their show ending only “to a degree” because the major tentpoles will be THE SAME. And it’s true that while Martin isn’t a key player in making the show (he doesn’t even read the scripts or see any episodes in advance), he has met with Benioff and Weiss to talk shop before. GRRM himself stated the show’s ending will be pretty damn similar to his own based on everything he told D&D.įor the record, the user was not downvoted to oblivion and was in fact upvoted by a whopping 24,500, so clearly people buy this. But as a book reader, I’m convinced that generally speaking, that was how George wanted this story to end. Episode 5 may be inconsistent with the rest of season 8, but that’s because the show writers didn’t follow all the steps in getting there.
