A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin recently shared the one thing he would want to change about his long-running fantastic epic book series, and it’s something that ever fan wants as well!Martin recently appeared at the Oxford Writers’ House to discuss A Song of Ice and Fire and writing in general, and at one point he was asked what one element about one of his books he would change if he was given the opportunity.Martin responded: “I don’t know, I could probably change more than one thing. If I could change one thing about one of my books I’d have them finished.”The author went on to talk about how he envied authors who self-publish their books and don’t have to worry about deadlines, but ultimately said he “would’ve loved to have had it finished many years ago … that’s the big thing I think I would change.”As you know, Martin has been working on Winds of Winter for years… or not working on it given the fact that he’s still not finished with it. Hell, after he’s done with that he has to write the final book, A Dream of Spring, but who knows if he will actually ever finish it. Martin also previously talked about the process of writing The Winds of Winter, saying: “It’s a big, big book, I’ve said that before. It’s a challenging book. It’s probably gonna be a larger book than any of the previous volumes in the series. “Dance with Dragons and Storm of Swords are the two largest books in the series, they were both about 1,500 manuscript pages. I think this one is going to be longer than that by the time I’m finished with it.”Martin also talked about how wearisome it was for him to have people ask him about finishing the book, saying: “Yes, of course I am still working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. I have stated that a hundred times in a hundred venues, having to restate it endlessly is just wearisome. I made a lot of progress on WINDS in 2020, and less in 2021… but ‘less’ is not ‘none.’”We can only hope that he’s still pressing forward with it and making more progress. Martin has a lot of projects on his plate, but it doesn’t seem like finishing up A Song of Ice and Fire is a priority.
