George R.R. Martin clarifies: “My plan is to finish in seven” books, but…
The “Game of Thrones” honcho addressed the rumor started by his editor that he”s now planning eight books, leaving himself some wiggle room. “My plan is to finish in seven,” Martin tells EW. “But my original plan was to finish in three. I write the stories and they grow. I deal with certain things and sometimes I find myself not at the end of a story. My plan right now is still seven. But first I have to finish Book Six. Get back to me when I”m half-way through Book Seven and then maybe I”ll tell you something more meaningful.”
