I remember a few years back when everyone was saying to give him space becuase they didn't want to push him too hard, and that we just had to be patient and it would be done in a few years. Of course now it's been a few years and everyone has realised they've been conned, lol. Still, at least it was entertaining to watch 🍿

Back in the heady days of 'George RR Martin is not your b****' :D . Now there's a comment that didn't age well, as he studiously did anything at all other than work on the thing anybody cared about. The next book was originally supposed to be out in 2014 lol.

GRRM will never finish because he is a discovery writer - he has no plan, he just writes and won't be able to gather all the story threads and bring them to a conclusion because there are too many. He almost certainly never had a conclusion in mind, or one that is writable and any good. GoT is a soap opera that is not meant to end.

There's a word for that. Open ended.

I think that's exactly the problem he realised he'd given himself with Winds of Winter - somehow he has to knit a hell of a lot of threads together (way more than in the TV show) if he has any chance of writing a cohesive final book after it and I just don't think he can. Or he isn't finding it entertaining to do.

Imo, GRRM's original ending was similar to the shows. He even said in an interview years ago that it would end in a similar way for most of the main characters. It's just that D&D rushed the final 2 seasons so much we lost what actually made it good (not enough lead-up, no connecting the dots, inferior dialogue, etc.).

The show needed 10 seasons, at least, for it to make everything work... and it still would've been depressing. D&D just refused to spend more time on it and we got the Cliff Notes version.

GRRM now has the advantage of changing things people didn't like and saying, "That's how it was supposed to end all along".

To be fair, to my knowledge GRRM never promised he'd finish the books.
