Author George R.R. Martin has provided an update on The Winds of Winter, the next chapter in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. Posting on his Not A Blog, Martin said he made good progress on the long-awaited novel, but he won't make any promises about when he will finish it.

"I wrote hundreds and hundreds of pages of The Winds of Winter in 2020," he said. "The best year I've had on WOW since I began it. Why? I don't know. Maybe the isolation. Or maybe I just got on a roll. Sometimes I do get on a roll."

Martin said he still has "hundreds" more pages to write before it's finished. In 2021, he hopes to be finished with the book, but he can't guarantee that he'll finish it this year.
