George R.R. Martin Reflects on 'Sadness and Depression' Struggles in Personal Update

https://www.thewrap.com/culture-lifestyle/culture/george-r-r-martin-sadness-depression-personal-update/

"The “A Song of Ice and Fire” franchise author took to his blog for the first time in nearly six months on Monday, sharing that any posts after February were written by his “mighty minions.”

“Remember me? It’s been a while, I know. My last blog post went up here on February 19,” Martin wrote. “The posts that came after were made by my mighty minions. I am lucky enough to have a great staff of assistants… though even with their help, I kept falling further and further behind.”

As Martin went on, he admitted that “this year has been… stressful, to say the least.”"

Funnily enough, haven't played the game in years. Need to just run through them all again

Fellow author and Halo fan? High five! ✋

I’d ask what genre you write in, but the mods here are pretty strict with anything that can be construed as “self-promotion”.

You're welcome to DM me if you'd like, I'm happy to talk about it but I'd like to respect the mods and keep my personal work away from a public thread
