The Winds of Winter is NOT Coming - ASOIAF Fans Sold Out For Hollywood

His clear willingness to take on any project that ISN'T Winds of Winter should tell you everything you need to know - he's creatively burned out on this book and has lost all motivation to ever finish it.

He needs to ADMIT HE'S DONE WITH THIS SERIES and it's NEVER going to be finished!!

"The American Tolkien." Sorry but that bar is obviously beyond Martin at this point.

It's amazing how this man has three stories going on in the same universe and he hasn't finished a single one.

The man didn’t write himself into a corner, he wrote himself into a massive labyrinth and now he’s completely lost.

Just to give some perspective. It was 19 years from Tolkien fighting in the battle of the Somme. To having written the Hobbit and the first two volumes of LOTR and constructing all the languages, All whilst holding down a full time position at Oxford university. This was something he did IN HIS SPARE TIME! As a hobby!

I can imagine George sitting in front of a page like Spongebob with only a beautifuly written "THE" and nothing else on it.

With every passing day George Martin is turning more and more in to Aegon IV.

GRR Martin: "I can't finish boomk because fascisms" JRR Tolkien: Writes a masterpiece in England during WW2.

When I was in college, my friend told me about this awesome book called A Song of Ice and Fire. We were both 17, and he was raving about it. Same friend, now in his 40s, married, with three children, a mortgage, and everything else. he's matured and lived a full life, waiting for a book series that will never be fnished
