George R. R. Martin Gives Quick Update on Winds of Winter Progress - Tor.com

Today as Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere he decided to make a stop at the Tor.com site. With no digging at all our inquisitive kitty found a post about bestselling author George R. R. Martin. He's the author of the Game of Thrones books and one of Panzer's favorite authors.

Don't bother.

According to Andrew Liptak's post, George R. R. Martin posted on his own blog that because of the Covid-19 quarantine he has been spending a lot of time working on his novel Winds of Winter. It also turns out he's has some tv shows and two movies in the works as well. Andrew Liptak quotes extensively from George R. R. Martin's post. There is a link in the post to George R. R. Martin's site if you want to read his original post.

Panzer says, "Don't bother to read the Comment section. Some of them got deleted by the Moderator, some are whiny and a few are okay; but mostly it's a waste of your time."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea (or whatever you want to drink) and a muffin or two for today's reading selection.

George RR Martin says Game of Thrones spin-offs will all be prequels - and announces a fifth - The Guardian

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard clapping and cheering. Following all the jocularity took our handsome kitty pilot to The Guardian site. With just a little digging around he found a post about George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones.

Do the novel now. I can't wait.

According to the post by Danuta Kean, George R.R. Martin has announced in conjunction with HBO he's helping with the creation of five Game of Thrones spin-offs. These won't be spin-offs in the usual use of the word, but prequels to aspects of the world he created for Game of Thrones. Each prequel is getting a pilot episode. Each pilot is written by a different writer with Mr. Martin's input. Mr. Martin does stress that he's still working on his next novel Winds of Winter. There are several links in the post including one to Mr. Martin's blog post about the spin-offs.

Panzer says, "This kitty wishes Mr. Martin would hurry up and finish Winds of Winter."

Note: This is a long post. Bring a big cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links in The Guardian post, bring a thermos of tea and two extra muffins.
