Reply to comment by wisdommaster1 in People give George R.R. Martin grief for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," but imagine trying to write a continuation of your series after HBO already wrote their own ending to it... by SAT0725
Yeah, he's angling to be another Robert Jordan - dead before he's even close to done.

I dont think that's a fair comparison at all. Jordan was terminally ill and still desperately trying to finish his books at a regular cadence while literally dying. He also made extensive plans to have the works finished posthumously if he didn't make it.
There's literally no indication that Martin has written a word of this book in nearly a decade, and IIRC he's explicitly said if he kicks it then no one is to ever touch his works.

Great point. I was leaning on the "die before finished" angle, but you're absolutely right.

Yeah, and I enjoyed the game of thrones book. So definitely not like Robert Jordan.
