LoL. Worst thing for the readers of the series was they making it into a show, because now he has no need to finish it.

 

I am just going to say it because I am an Ass-Hole. I think George lost all interest in it when the children grew up. No more writing about adults having sex with children. If you read the books you know what I mean, as the HBO series went out of its way to make all the children older than they were in George's writings. (Like: Daenerys Targaryen was 13 years old when she married Khal Drogo.)

If you ask me; It is going to kind of be like the Peanuts series. After the author dies, eventually the family will allow someone else to take over the Storyline to cash in on their father's legacy.

 

I totally agree, and I wanted to give a hilarious for the Tyrion, and Robert comparisons. LoL. That was pretty dead on, and made me laugh.
I don't know it You ever read any Clive Barker, but he did the exact same thing with the Art Trilogy. His 1st book The Great and Secret Show came out in 1989, and I believe the 2nd Everville in 1994, and to this day he hasn't finished the 3rd book.
I'm not excusing Martin, but I'm just saying he's not the only one who does this.
Hell for awhile I thought S. King wouldn't finish his Dark Tower series, but he stuck to his guns, and did.

 

Did you see those two, King and George, on some talk show discussing their processes for writing. King said when he is writing a book he makes himself write 14 pages per day minimum, George said he sometime goes weeks or even months without being able to write a single page.

 

No, not originally I didn't, but I have found, and watched it since it was brought up on here.
