George R. R. Martin has always been a busy man, and his schedule tightened a lot after the release of the Game of Thrones TV show, so much so that the series continued further than what he had written. Now that the show is over, he is still writing Winds of Winter, while also working on Game of Thrones spinoff shows, one of them being the Jon Snow sequel with Kit Harington. However, he has his priorities set straight, and it appears The Winds of Winter is on the top of his list.
He recently wrote on his blog, Not A Blog:
“An apology to all the aces and jokers out there, my Wild Cards fans and readers. There’s been lots going on with Wild Cards, but I have been so busy with Westeros and the railroad and many many other things that I haven’t found time to blog about it.
On the literary front, the Wild Cards gang is hard at work on three new originals: PAIRING UP, SLEEPER STRADDLES, and HOUSE RULES.
Meanwhile, work continues apace on the Wild Cards Tv series we are developing for Peacock. The pilot will be based mostly on FORT FREAK. Haven’t read that one? No problem, signed copies are available from Beastly Books in Santa Fe, and unsigned copies from your favorite on-line bookseller.”
