Fk You: George R.R. Martin Responds to Complaints of Slow Writing

The writer said that he also found it contentious that fans would complain about his attending events rather than staying home and working, noting that he only writes when he is home.

But these promises of progress pale when considering the fact that Martin is now considering writing an eighth book in what he had most recently envisioned as a seven-book series.

But regardless, he has said that he knows he needs to finish things up. Early in his interview with Rolling Stone this past April, he admitted, I better get these books done.
