Game of Thrones author and House of the Dragon co-creator George R. R. Martin has revealed he’s battling depression the last few months.
On his blog, the 77-year-old author spoke out about his life lately. In addition, he noted that he has not personally updated his blog for the last six months. Entries you might’ve seen from February through today were shared by his staff of assistants.
Read what George R.R. Martin said about battling “sadness and depression”
It’s been a while, I know. My last blog post went up here on February 19. 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.
This year has been… stressful, to say the least. So much has been happening, it’s been overwhelming. Some great things, exciting things. Dreams coming true. But there have been nightmares too. I have lost friends. Battled sadness and depression. The worst may be yet to come. I turned seventy-seven last September, and I tell you, getting old is no fun. But there have been amazing times as well.
I suppose that’s just life. Of course, I knew that. If you’ve read my stories, you know that.
So much to post about… I will try and catch up some… and my minions will help… but my posts are likely to short and rushed.
