“I ought to get some other writer to pinch-hit for me… I am going to die soon anyway, because I am so old. I lost all interest in A Song of Ice and Fire decades ago. I don’t give a s— about writing any longer. I just sit around and spend my money,” Martin wrote.

The author went on to assert that fans’ requests for the book gave him the impression that they “don’t care about” his other books.

“I edit the Wild Cards books, too, but you hate Wild Cards. You may hate everything else I have ever written, the Hugo winners and Hugo losers. You don’t care about any of those, I know. You don’t care about anything but Winds of Winter. You’ve told me so often enough. Thing is, I do care about them,” George R.R. Martin said.
