Not triggered at all. I've been reading the series since '98, but I don't expect to see it finished. And it doesn't make me mad. I've read enough interviews with Martin, and I know enough about writing, to recognize that he's come to dread writing the books. And as Tinordi notes, the quality of the books (the narrative and plotting anyway) has been going downhill since Storm of Swords.
Without the spur of keeping up with the TV series, it's likely Martin is writing slower than ever. Even if he is still writing at pace he's written for the last 10 years, we won't see Winds of Winter completed until at least 2018. If we ever see it at all.
