George RR Martin is probably one of the most recognizable faces of modern fantasy. He is a famous author who has made a small thing called the Game of Thrones, has worked in TV shows, movies, and even sports, providing important myths for Eldin. Many roles and stories that naturally, Miazaki, were mutually supported by them.
She is also under a lot of pressure. A song from Ice & Fire, the epic of seven books, which has begun with the Game of Thrones (so the name of TV adaptation), so far only five books have been written. The most recent Tom, a dance with the dragon, arrived in 2011. If you’ve got a calendar handi, you can recognize that it is 2025, about a decade and a half.
He is not only turning his thumbs, brains, but also in a recent blog post on his website in which he reveals that he is working on a dozen hard jobs of Howard Waldop, he, ah, is moving a little on a tanjent.
After announcing that he is working on adaptation, Martin uses the mother of all opening letters to tear fans (though no doubt about it), who keep asking why he has not written the winter winds. I usually do not do this, but I think it is important to refer it to it completely – it is also important to tell that Waldrop is a long and dear friend of Martin, who died in 2024.
“(I know, I know. Some of you will only be bothered with it, because you will be in accordance with everything I declare here, which is not about Westros or winter winds. You have never lost me, or the book. I will never finish (winter winds).
Deep breaths, we are not yet on half a way.
“I’m going to die soon, because I am very old. I have lost all the interest in a song of snow and fire decades ago. I don’t talk about writing anymore, I just sit down and spend my money. For ‘Lia,’ a song, ‘and a song for’ Leh ‘and datting,’ Tower of Ashes’ and ‘The Stone City’, the old Mars and the old Venus and the fighters and the dangerous women and all the other songs with their friend Gardner.
“You don’t care about any of them, I know. You don’t care about anything other than winter winds. You have told me so often).”
Although it may be much more because Martin loses his anger, I certainly do not envy the boy – so that the snow and fire songs are culturally written by some Titanic, then asked to eliminate it, especially when the difference between books is wider and wider? Moreover, I sympathize with their frustration on the idea that since it has not done anything, it doesn’t care. What I don’t think about is exactly true, and against whom he releases loudly:
“The thing is, I care about them. And I also care about Westeros and the winds. Stars and lensters and targets, Terrons and Asha, Danny and Danries, Dragon and Directoes, I care about them all. You can imagine more than that.”
This may be the project on which it now exists, which makes it realized. Waldrop, a fellow author and science fiction author, was a longtime friend of Martin, and in January 2024 he died at the age of 77. You can read Martin A very touching tribute Here for him, where he wrote: “We are also adapting to another Waldopi pair, and I promised him that I would deduct it before the end of January. I never thought that when we would never talk again.”
I will not excuse to stay in this man’s head, or I will not talk for it. However, if I was in the middle of late friend’s work, just not finishing the book to put some complete alien bark on me? It will boil my blood to some extent. Martin ended his post by linking one Hollywood reporter piece At the future, concluding: “I hope we will do justice to them. How can we not do? Harculus, Howard, Joe, Lion Forge… I wish you could all share my enthusiasm on the possibility of this movie.”
