That changed today when Martin returned to the Not A Blog for his first post in more than half a year. My last blog post went up here on February 19. It brings to mind some of his other blog posts in recent years where he discussed the loss of some of his close friend and colleagues like Howard Waldrop. Martin hopes to attend the Emmys in support of AKOTSKThe blog post wasn't only personal news, however. Martin also took a moment to hype up A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which was nominated for nine Emmy awards this year including Best Drama.
