So, my publishers say I have to start trying to appeal to a younger audience...
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON has helped brighten my Sundays. I mean, I cannot really review the show, that would be crazy, I am hardly objective… but I do want to commend Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik and the cast and crew for the work they’ve done. georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2022/
Zoinks! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hope everyone has or had a fun and safe time ;)
Happy Anniversary to my dear wife Parris, my sun and stars.
The last night, the last show. After eight epic seasons, HBO’s GAME OF THRONES series has come to an end...follow link to read whole post on my Not a Blog-georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2019/
Aquaman is attacking me... or is it Khal Drogo? Either way I'm strangely OK with it.
Binge-watched 's CHERNOBYL. Terrifying, exciting, heartbreaking. If this one does not win a truckload of Emmys, there is no justice in Hollywood. And special shout out to the talented for his amazing performance ...
Here’s a post I did not expect to be writing.
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON won the Golden Globe last night as the Best Drama of 2022!
It was, of course, an honor just to be nominated, but I never expected we would win.

The dragons are coming…back. We have a green light for a GAME OF THRONES successor show… HOUSE OF THE DRAGON is the title and needless to say it will be centered on House Targaryen and based upon Archmaester Gyldayn’s imaginary history FIRE & BLOOD. georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2019/
In loving memory of the real life Ghost from the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary. He passed this week & he will be missed. R.I.P
I have to confess, after half a year of pandemic, I am showing signs of cabin fever. If nothing else, the enforced isolation has helped me write. I am spending long hours every day on THE WINDS OF WINTER, and making steady progress. georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2020/
I am late to post about this, but I was very saddened by the news of a couple recent deaths. The world of television and film lost a titan with the passing of Dame Diana Rigg. Such an amazing talent. It was such an honor to have her on GAME OF THRONES as the Queen of Thorns...
Just two guys who love movies. (Still hoping we can check out each other's theaters one of these days) #TBT
The writers' strike is on.
No one wanted this -- no writer with an ounce of sense, anyway -- but the producers and the studios and the networks and the streamers gave us no choice. georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2023/

Trying out new hats...part two. This lovely sombrero was given to me by my fans during the Guadalajara book fair.
I am back in my fortress of solitude again, I'd returned home to Santa Fe for a short visit to spend some time with Parris. But I am back on the mountain again... which means I'm back in Westeros again, once more moving ahead with WINDS OF WINTER...ow.ly/AFJk50B0jNa
After a long time chasing down one of our favorite artists, we've noodled him away from other projects long enough to complete this fabulous set of images for our official Song of Ice and Fire calendar next year.

Happy Groundhogs Day! I too have emerged from my burrow ;)
A few years back, Hidetaka Miyazaki and his incredible team of game designers, the creators of the DARK SOULS videogame series, reached out from Japan to ask me to help them create the backstory and history for a new game they were working on. georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2021/
My thanks to all of the attendees of last year's Dragoncon, and to all the Dragon Award voters who chose ELDEN RING as the best game of the year.
There seems to have been a certain amount of confusion about what Casterly Rock looks like. Let me put that to rest... georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2022/

... I thought 2016 was a bad year, but 2017 was even worse... if not so much for me personally, then certainly for a lot of my friends and loved ones, and for the nation and the world as a whole. I hope better times are ahead for all of us. #hopeful

My congratulations to David Benioff, Dan Weiss, our producers, directors, and all the rest of our amazing cast and crew... those who were nominated and those who were overlooked alike, they all have reason to be proud.

My Minions got ahold of some old photos... should I be worried?
Just saw online that SyFy has cancelled THE EXPANSE. It's a damn shame, especially for fans of space science fiction... of which I count myself one. It was the best space show on television, far and away. I hope its producers can find another home for it. ow.ly/MiF930jXAJ4
Life within the heart of a dragon... Any thoughts on what we should name them?

Kicking off #TargaryenThursdays with Aenar Targaryen, The Lord who Left or Aenar the Exile. In 114 BC, 12 years before the fall and after a prophetic dream from his Daughter, he fled Valyria and moved the Targaryen name to a new land and establishing Dragonstone.
