Martinsays his pandemic lockdown has resulted in his best work yet on his long-awaited novelThe Winds of Winter.

I don’t know.

Or maybe I just got on a roll.

Sometimes I do get on a roll."

Brace yourself for this next part: “I need to keep rolling, though,” Martin wrote.

“I still have hundreds of more pages to write to bring the novel to a satisfactory conclusion.

That’s what 2021 is for, I hope.”

“I will make no predictions on when I will finish,” the author added.

All I will say is that I am hopeful."

So, it sounds like there’s great stuff coming… just not, you know, right away.

Previously, Martin has told EW that his writing is not a strictly linear process.

He sometimes keeps what he’s written.

He often scraps pages or chapters entirely and then starts again.

Plus, the greenlit prequel dramaHouse of the Dragonshould begin production in the first half of 2021.
