  • Martin reports intermittent progress on the book, with periods of productivity disrupted by other obligations.
  • He revealed that deadlines for HBO spin-offs, including 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' and 'House of the Dragon,' occupy part of his time.
  • Martin insists that his work on HBO projects is separate from his writing process and does not directly hinder the book's completion.
  • The delay has drawn renewed attention to the impact on the 'Game of Thrones' TV series, which concluded without the guidance of completed source material.
