George R.R. Martin, the author of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, has revealed in a personal blog post that he has been struggling with "sadness and depression" over the past year. In a first update since February, Martin explained that any posts made after that time were penned by his assistants. He admitted to feeling overwhelmed, adding that "so much has been happening, it's been overwhelming.
Some great things, exciting things. Dreams coming true. But there have been nightmares too." Martin, who turned seventy-seven last September, also reflected on the challenges of aging. Despite these difficulties, Martin assured his fans that there have also been "amazing times." He acknowledged that "of course, I knew that. If you've read my stories, you know that."
Martin also celebrated HBO's "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," which he co-created, receiving nine Emmy nominations. He expressed his hope to attend the awards ceremony but acknowledged that it depends on various factors.
