The guy is 77 years old now and does not take care of himself. Maybe his plan is to release the ending post-humously?
Nope. I'd bet that he's going to croak and some other writer is going to be charged with finishing it and people are just going to complain about that too.

That way the Cult of Personality lives on.

"That wasn't GRRM's ending tho!! That wasn't his plan!!"

The man has no plan. He's stuck. It seems pretty obvious. He's cashing cheques and playing out the string.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
