George R.R. Martin admits The Winds of Winter is 13 years late, calls upcoming book 'the curse of my life'

George R.R. Martin is getting tired of fans commenting on how he spends his time: 'There’s no doubt 'Winds of Winter' is 13 years late. I’m still working on it.'

Last week, the Game of Thrones author made headlines for posing with a real-life direwolf, the extinct Ice Age species making a comeback thanks to developments in biotech. Fans have been eagerly awaiting The Winds of Winter since its predecessor A Dance With Dragons was published back in 2011, timed to the season 1 finale of Game of Thrones. Since then, Martin has indeed kept busy, inking a deal with HBO in 2021 to develop further spinoffs from the franchise (including House of the Dragon), writing for the popular open world video game Elden Ring, and the AMC series Dark Winds.
