The series "Game of Thrones" was not good for me "

The story is not over for fans of Game of Thrones.

Author George RR Martin has big plans for the final chapters of his flagship book series – and says the controversial finale written by DB Weiss and David Benioff "does not change anything" about how he plans to close the legend. from Westeros.

"You can not please everyone, so you have to please yourself," he told The Observer. "There were a few years when, if I could finish the book, I could have stayed ahead of the show for two more years, and the stress was huge."

The end of the HBO series was "released" for him and "very good" for his work.

"I do not think so [the TV series] was very good for me, "he said. "The very thing that should have accelerated me actually slowed down. Every day, I sat down to write and even though I had a good day, I would feel very bad because I would think, "God, I have to finish the book. I only wrote four pages when I should have written 40. "

Do not believe that it lets readers follow the moment, or indulge in the many theorists of "GoT" online.

"I got out of it all," he says. "A part of [the theories] are right and some of [the theories] are wrong. They will know when I will finish. "

Martin admits that it's not just the frenzy of fans on social networks that stops him. While fondly talking to readers, he lamented how difficult it is for him to enjoy big fan rallies like he did before.

"I do not want to go to a party where an infinite succession of people want to take selfies with me," he said. "Because it's not fun like in the good old days. It's work. "

In fact, it's hard for him to be in public all these days.

He continued, "I can not go to a bookstore anymore, and it was my favorite activity in the world. Enter and wander stack, take books, read a little, leave with a big stack of things I never heard of when I arrived. Now, when I go to a bookstore, I am recognized within 10 minutes and there is a crowd around me. So you win a lot, but you also lose things. "
