Also, GRRM floated the possibility that he’ll never finish the books a few months back, so I think the answer is obvious.
Part of me genuinely wonders if it’s actually nearly done, but the backlash to the TV finale has him dragging his feet.A Song of Ice and Fire never gets finished.
Or he fears everyone is going to hate it after the show.Yeah, its clear he is never finishing the books. He refuses to admit that he has writer block. And/or doesn't have an editor to cut out bull**** he likes.
I don't think an editor would be an issue there. If anything I think he realizes he hasn't even started telling the second half of the story and two books isn't enough. That's a mountain of work that could frighten anyone.I think that's part of the writers block. But again, looking at his criticism of HOTD season 2, and lack of his idea of a lode bearing child murder, I think Winds of Winter will remain in an un-releasable state, because he refuses to listen to any editor.
Even when I first read the books I thought he was introducing way too many characters for a seven book series and naturally it's become massive and unwieldy. Not that I think anything didn't belong in the main series but he at least could have trimmed some fat and left some of it for supplemental books apart from the main series.I don't think an editor would be an issue there.

Oh back off already. It’s necessary. Rob can age as he likes but no one wants to see a non-twink Paul Atreides.Dune trilogy before a sequel to a Batman movie. I would’ve lost that bet.

Okay, I am going to be nice and assume that this thread was started innocently and ignorant of the ban on further discussion of The Batman Part II delays. If this veers towards bad taste or insensitive criticism of Reeves' personal challenges, the thread will be closed and infractions will follow.If y’all don’t get tf off Matt Reeves’s neck already…![]()
