He uses his blog to provide regular updates on Game of Thrones and the world of Westeros. The overall deal that he had signed with HBO was suspended on June 1, reflecting the first month of the writers' strike.

Martin has been fully supportive of the strike, stating that the strike is not about name writers, producers, or showrunners, but for entry-level writers, story editors, students, actors, and first-time staff job creators.

He has also discussed the TV industry's cruel treatment of new writers, preventing them from rising up and keeping them from having a steady income.
