Are we still pretending he is still writing stuff?

Oh, he's writing a lot!

Dunk and Egg novellas, a history of the Targaryen family, some new Nightflyer and Wild Cards scripts and pilots, blog posts, responses to fan emails... what more could you ask for?

I'm pretty sure he's not responding to emails on his DOS machine.

After reading the article: no he doesn't, he uses a modern computer for internet, mail and taxes.

It looks like this article is from 2014; I'm not sure if he was still writing them, but we probably were at least still pretending he was!
