Basically he's old and depressed because of his age and because of so many friends dying (having to regularly attend funerals of old lifetime friends is probably one of the bleakest aspects of aging when you think about it )
Writing came hard, and though I did produce some new pages on both THE WINDS OF WINTER (yes) and BLOOD & FIRE (the sequel to FIRE & BLOOD, the second part of my Targaryen history), I would have liked to turn out a lot more. My various television projects ate up most of those months.
!bookworms it's completely and utterly over for ASOIAFcels . The spin-off shows are consooming his time, he's sadge because he's old and because Trump is running or something and his promise of "I'm not writing any spin off until TWOW is done" is broken as he's writing F&B sequel B&F which will certainly be published before "The Winds of Winter" (if that book ever comes out, sounds as if he wrote 10 pages this year lol).

He clearly lost interest in the GoT series and is making excuses. He should have taken a sabbatical years ago because if you're sick of your project you'll never finish it

He probably saw how badly his vision played out on screen and realised that no number of pages is going to make that a good ending.
Imagine his plans for Winds of Winter slowly steering various plot elements to a conclusion and then finding out that everyone hates it because it is stupid.
Yeah I'd never find the motivation to finish that either.

I mean that's the narrative but he was already know as the fat frick long before D&D r*ped his novels. He's just a lazy bastard. Simple as.

The dumb part is that the decisions made were not that bad, the show just rushed them and fell off production quality wise at the end.

crazy to think this image is over a decade old and we're still in the circumstances it was created in.

I wonder how this guy's doing now that it's been 13 years since any chapter at all?

In my headcanon, tWOW was going to have Catelyn Stark as the only POV character and the show fricked it up by letting her stay dead. This way, I get to think fondly of the show for saving us from a really annoying book.

This is actually good because we don't have to listen to people debate forever about whether ASoIaF or LotR is better. Georgie didn't finish, so Tolkien mogs him for all time. If some r-slur tries to argue that throneshit would hypothetically be better if it was completed, you can throw him in a wood chippa.

He's written only a few pages of twow in 6 months bruh.
He should stop lying that he's focused on twow. Clearly he isn't as his other tv projects take most of his attention and time.
He has this annoying 'woe is me' attitude. He is responsible for selling his books series to HBO lmao

I already knew it was joever four years ago when he also hadn't made any progress on TWOW.
ADWD was released in 2011, AFFC was released in 2005. Online forums were already joking that he was taking forever between those two.
If you didn't think it was over after being already 3 years longer than between the gaps of the last two books, I don't know what to tell you.

I've never read those books and I dislike GRRM intensely but the "GRRM doesn't owe you anything" attitude makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
He absolutely 100% owes his readers a conclusion. It's called responsibility. The level of cuckoldry displayed by some of his fans is astounding.

I just think if i was in his shoes i would use my millions to hire blackrock hitmen to kidnap random fans and torture them in my basement. Whats the point of writing when you have so much money that you can peel the skin off a fans midsection whenever you feel like it. Plus hes fat so you know hes predisposed to laziness other than when he is really working up a sweat from repeatedly stabbing a hogtied fan in the face with hypodermic needles full of battery acid.

He'll only finish Winds if Harris is elected. Vote accordingly.

Sister. I've noticed that your avatar is not wearing a hijab. When you wear a hijab, you are obeying the commands of Allah, and you can expect great rewards in return. It is Allah's protection of your natural beauty. You are too precious to be "on display" for each man to see. It is Allah's preservation of your chastity. Allah purifies your heart and mind through the hijab. Allah raises your dignity through the hijab. When a strange man looks at you, he respects you because he sees that you respect yourself. And this applies to your avatar as well.
