Game of Thrones rose to fame in the last decade due to its amazing storyline, engaging characters and realistic battle scenes. There is hardly anyone on earth who hasn’t heard about the show. No wonder fans love it so dearly, that’s why the final season was really hard for some of them. The controversial ending created a rift between the fans and the showrunners. The main reason, that many fans have theorised is the fact George R. R. Martin hasn’t finished writing the books yet. Though people are impatiently waiting for the next instalment, Martin seems to have taken a little break from writing for now. Nonetheless, he says he still loves the world of Westeros and wants to write more.
In an interview with the local station WTTW, Martin said, “It was the popular television show in the world for a time. It won more Emmys than any other show in television history,” he said. “I’m very pleased to be associated with it. It also made me famous, which I have mixed about feelings about. I think it was Bill Murray who said if you dream of fame and fortune, try just fortune first. There is something to say for that. Fame is definitely a double-edged sword.”
“I’ve been writing stories about Westeros and the people who live there, the Seven Kingdoms, since 1991,” he said. “It’s such a huge part of my life at this point…It’s transformed my life, for good or for ill. It is where I am. And I do love Westeros, I love telling stories about it, so there’s a lot more stories to tell.”
