The story - which by his own admission he has been making up as he goes along without an outline or plan - is such a mess he doesn’t know how to untangle it and weave it back together again. There are at least 20 POV characters in WoW, and dozens and dozens of unresolved plotlines. Martin actually has a full-time employee whose job it is to track and remember all the history, characters, and lore, because he has lost track of it all.
