Martin supported the idea of ??the Jon Snow spin-off because it would be the safest way to continue Game of Thrones without revealing the fate of other characters, since Jon lives in exile Beyond the Wall.
Kit Harington wanted the spin-off series to show Jon with PSTD. Jon would send Ghost away, throw Longclaw away, and spend his time building and burning huts. The series would end with Jon dying. HBO thought this idea was too pessimistic and shelved the project.
HBO is currently developing an Arya Stark spin-off series set in Essos.
Martin describes his current relationship with Ryan Condal as "abysmal."

“I don’t know,” Martin says. “I think I’ll stay home. I have to write more Dunk and Egg. There’s supposed to be another Fire and Blood book, too. I do think if I can just get some of these other things off my back, I could finish The Winds of Winter pretty soon. It’s been made clear to me that Winds is the priority, but … I don’t know. Sometimes I’m not in the mood for that.”

Martin says he has around 1,100 manuscript pages finished. He’s also said the number for a while. He long has blamed the endless distractions that have come from shifting from a full-time author to a producer and celebrity. The success of Thrones was both the best thing that could have happened to Martin and the worst thing that could have happened to the greatest story he ever wrote.
Here’s what happens when he sits down to write: “I will open the last chapter I was working on and I’ll say, ‘Oh frick, this is not very good.’ And I’ll go in and I’ll rewrite it. Or I’ll decide, ‘This Tyrion chapter is not coming along, let me write a Jon Snow chapter.’ If I’m not interrupted though, what happens — at least in the past — is sooner or later, I do get into it.”

I don’t let a certain demographic merge in front of me because they never acknowledge it in return.

I also don’t allow them to turn out of a driveway and get in front of me anymore, because they can’t take a moment to say thanks.

I said something to the bartender but he just shrugged.

I might mention it to the owner one day.

They could easily be making no effort to have pennies (or coins) so that they can keep your change intentionally (and everyone else’s). You would never know they are scamming you.

100% happened to me. I paid with cash to avoid the card fee and got popped with that surprise.

Haven’t set foot in that place since.

None of the businesses in my area are doing that.

One restaurant didn’t have any coins so they just kept everything other than bills.

Ex: Your change is $1.85? That restaurant would give only give you $1 back and keep the rest.

Why would you be cool with a place keeping money that they owed you?

Why don’t they give you extra change back instead and incur the loss on their side?

But then they pop you with a transaction fee (I recently saw 5% at a restaurant).
