So I saw a Jon Snow spinoff is coming and GRRM was talking about it. Why HBO still pays him after he screwed them over by refusing to finish the books is beyond me.
Since they didn't allow Jon Snow to fight the Night King due to girl power reasons, I can only imagine he will be upstaged by a smarter more capable female warrior of some kind. That is just my guess based on modern entertainment.
As someone who does a lot of writing and creative work, I can totally relate to losing interest in a project or suffering from long-term writer's block. That said, If GRRM would just be honest with himself and acknowledge that he's just not capable of finishing the books, he could take steps like choosing a ghostwriter to help him finish the stories while he's still alive and can still direct the stories according to his original vision.
As a layperson, the problem with GRRM seems to be his inability to admit he has a problem.
Agreed. I’ve done some writing in my as well and understand writers block.
I would have respect for him if he admitted he lost interest or it would be so easy to give his outlines and notes to another writer to finish. I think that is what will happen should he never complete the series
