George reveals main reason behind ‘TWOW’ delays
Speaking to Metro, George RR Martin claimed that his age is one of the many factors that caused the delays of “The Winds of Winter” novel.
The New Mexican writer said he is in no rush to hit a particular deadline.
"I did not start to write slower over the years," George told the publication. In addition, I have not become younger. Age does not add enthusiasm,” the brain behind the popular “Game of Thrones” series went on.

Additionally, the veteran author divulged that various studios in Hollywood first showed interest in “A Song of Ice and Fire” series following the feat Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings.” George added that “Game of Thrones” could have become a film.
Cersei Lannister is not pregnant despite her previous claim
Meanwhile, a number of Reedit users claimed that Cersei Lannister is not pregnant.
They said that she is starting her menopause.
“As menopause and pregnancy share a lot of the same symptoms, for example, missed periods, feelings of bloating, mood swings and weight gain, could it be that Cersei is currently going through the menopause, but she and everyone else believes that she is pregnant?” one user said.
Another Reedit user claimed Cersei could possibly be just faking her pregnancy to give Tyrion a reason to accept the truce and keep Jaime close at the same time.
While these theories could be true, it should be noted that HBO has yet to confirm or deny these speculations.
“Game of Thrones” Season 8 is predicted to return to small screens in 2019. Stay tuned for more spoilers, news, and updates about George RR Martin’s “The Winds of Winter” novel.
