Author George R.R. Martin appeared on last night’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The interview below includes insights into his writing process. In addition, Martin reveals the science fiction and mystery stories that inspired him as a young man. Lastly, if you are a Game of Thrones fan, then you will be excited to hear where Martin is on the progress on “The Winds of Winter.”
I am making progress with The Winds of Winter, but it’s still not done yet. I think it’s going to be a very big book. I think I’m about three-quarters of the way done. The characters all interweave. I’ve actually finished with some of the characters, I’ve got their whole story, but not others. So I have to finish all that weaving. Still gonna take me awhile.
