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. He regularly updates his fans about the status of his progress on The Winds of Winter. He is currently dealing with stories involving Tyrion Lannister.

Martin recently wrote on his blog Not A Blog:
“Most of you know by now that I do not like to give detailed updates on WINDS. I am working on it, I have been working on it, I will continue to work on it. (Yes, I work on other things as well). I love nothing more than to surprise my readers with twists and turns they did not see coming, and I risk losing those moments if I go into too much detail. Spoilers, you know. Even saying that I am working on a Tyrion chapter, as I did last week, gives away the fact that Tyrion is not dead. Reading sample chapters at cons, or posting them on line, which I did for years, gives away even more. I actually quite enjoyed doing that, until the day came that I realized I had read and/or posted the first couple of hundred pages of WINDS, or thereabouts. If I had kept on with the readings, half the book might be out by now.”
He ended the post with the words:
“That’s all I can tell you right now. I need to get back to the garden. Tyrion is waiting for me.”
No doubt, Tyrion Lannister will play a major role in the novels as well. Do you think Tyrion will last Martin’s version of the series finale? Tell us in the comments below!
