People can complain that the showrunners 'ruined' GoT but...they have an obligation at some point to 'wrap it up.' Whereas GRRM can cash cheques and screw around forever.
He often writes and writes and writes but I know there is a cult of personality around him but, its folly to believe that the man actually had a plan and a way to get there. He might say he does...but I dont believe him.
Where for a TV show...its gotta end at some point. And I'm getting the impression that Ol' George wasn't a lot of help.

GRRM clearly has no intention of finishing the books. I'd agree, he's written himself into a corner. Instead of finishing the story and being open to criticism, he likes the attention of having the ending being up in the air and everyone waiting for him to get on with it.
The guy is 77 years old now and does not take care of himself. Maybe his plan is to release the ending post-humously?
