He's probably rewriting large parts of TWOW. Not even ADWD and AFFC took this long despite him being needed to basically rework the entire story from scratch.

he let D&D field test his ideas
>>
>>87676584

he's still looking for an author/novel that he can plagiarize/copy from.

reminder that he copied from frank herbert:
- faceless ones assassins who change faces copied from face dancers assassins who change faces (he's even too lazy to come up with more original name)
- green seer who has visions and son of powerful house whose leader's death was orchestrated by rival house copied from kwisatz haderach who has visions and son of powerful house whose leader's death was orchestrated by rival house
- house stark a noble house whose leader's death was orchestrated by a rival house copied from house atreides whose leader's death was orchestrated by a rival house
- house lannister richest house in westeros occupies throne orchestrates death of rival house's leader copied from house corrino largest choam shareholder richest house in imperium occupies throne orchestrates death of rival house's leader
- dothraki numerous horde described by jaime lannister as fiercest warriors copied from fremen numerous horde described by corrino commanders as fiercest warriors

Because he's a lazy hack.

>>87676841
He fucked up on Mereen, he couldn't work out the big battle over there that's about to occur in the books. Dany, Victarion, Tyrion, Jorah, Barristan, the slavers and who knows else all needed to be at the right place and at the right time and he couldn't figure it out. That's why ADWD took 6 years becasue that was a long time back then.
Ofcourse that's nothing compared to what we got right now so i wonder what excuse he'll have now.

what other novel has face dancers and kwisatz haderach and fremen and house atreides and house corrino?

>100 hours of tv show

>the only tax mentioned is the dwarf sex tax

what did he mean by this?

>>87677015
It would've been fine had his works not been dissected by millions. Before the show everything was not figured out and the community had a really fun time searching through for all the subtle hints he dropped
>>
>>87676850
all these fag marriage talk is pointless. After muslims gain a strong minority or 50% of the population all liberal laws like fag marriage are gone. Liberals are fucking themselves up.
>>
he has no intention of finishing the books, he's moved onto other projects

The only reason he kept writing them was to keep generating an income, but he's rich as fuck now and can enjoy his final years the way he wants - with cheeseburgers and black pussy

He said in an interview that once he knows how a book ends, he loses interest in it. I think HBO forced him to give them an ending, and he doesn't give a fuck anymore. He'll be patting some cosgirl's ass at a con in the next couple of years, keel over from a massive heart attack, and the TV show will be canon.

LOOK AT HIM!

>>
>>87677015

You know, maybe you're right about that. I mean, he even said it himself that if he knows exactly where a book is going, he loses all interest in writing it.

So yeah, maybe it was fans figuring out most of the plots which is what made him all fed up, that and now he has complete and total fuck you money from the TV show.
>>
>>87678018
I'm surprised he hasn't done the staff thing, and had them finish the books. A lot of the big authors did that.

he is either copying d&d's ideas or that d&d already figured out his endgame so decided to change it to remain different from the show
>>
>>87676584

He's getting loads of money basically doing fuckall. He's holding sex orgies in the meantime involving high-class escorts. All unprotected sex, of course.
When not participating in sex orgies, he hires a high-class escort to act out one of his fantasies for some solid one-on-one time.
He takes his actual girlfriend out on dates at times, I imagine.
Sits around doing nothing other times.
Writes when he feels like it and has some time left.
>>
>>87678112

It could be that. It's also the fact that D&D forced him to give an ending and a general plotline. With the show catching up like this and spoiling the general plotlines, D&D has no option but to write these very same plotlines in. He can't change his mind or find a better twist to write. He has to write what he stated all those years ago. He's essentially being railroaded and I imagine it's very demotivating and stifles creativity.
>>
>>87676841
There was supposed to be a time skip which is why certain characters are so young in the books. He strapped the idea.

Because he does fuck all other than post on his blog about the NFL or the Hugo Awards. Then, last year or whenever the fuck it was, he made a post about how 'I thought I'd get the book out before the end of the year but I didn't a bloo bloo blooh'. And the fucking fans, instead of turning on him as they fucking well should have done, said 'It's OK Georgie, we know you tried'. So now he's given up all pretence of caring. Can't wait for those two books on the history of the Taryaryens he's promised we'll be getting instead!

he originally wanted to set the book 5 years into the future but later scrapped the idea because he would have to fill the book with flashback stuff because he couldn't have nothing happen for 5 years
a feast for crows and a dance with dragons were supposed to be one single book

More importantly why are his editors letting him take the piss?

No author should get away with half the shit he does, late handing in drafts, misses deadline after deadline and never bothers keeping them up to date.

Just a reminder that the last solid update we had was that he'd handed in the first 284 pages to be looked over and that was years ago.

Is it possible HBO has in his contract that George can't release any more books until the tv series ends, so it doesn't spoil the ending and compete for shekels? I agree he's lazy, but it's possible it's out of his control.
