A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin has said he's written 1,100 pages of next book The Winds of Winter, the same amount he'd written as of December 2022, while also revealing there are eight Game of Thrones spin-off shows being worked on.
The problem is that he never had a plan on how to finish up the series, at least not in any reasonable amount of time which was realistic for him to actually write the necessary number of volumes in the series.
