The Winds of Winter series has come to a halt, and it’s all because of George R.R. Martin’s uncontrollable fear. No more will we hear our favorite author talk about his long-awaited upcoming book release date; no more will we be sent cliffhangers to keep us in suspense. The news even shocked the TV series producers. The news was brought to our attention this week by Martin himself, who reportedly swore off all updates for the time being due to his inability to keep away from watching and reading Game of Thrones fan theories online. Martin admitted that he would read or watch fan theories on his favorite TV show and would immediately begin thinking they had guessed everything correctly only to be proven wrong when the next season rolled around. Now, he is not sure which of his theories is accurate, so he has sworn off all updates until The Winds of Winter has been published to avoid any more false predictions.
