Whether selective laziness (he certainly had no issues doing side projects and making loathsome dung eaters in belden bing) or some deliberate cliffhanger marketing strategy, last I checked he still hasn't put out "winds of winter" and I'm glad the once-impossible-to-ignore pop cultural juggernaut is slowing down and gradually coming apart.
Yeah, I know. I'm not convinced he'll ever finish it either. I think he basically knows the broad strokes of where he wants things to wind up though and he had discussions with the show runners about it. Like the specifics are subject to change but I 100% also think it was always his intent for Jon to basically abdicate and go north of the wall because depending on your perspective it's kind of the happiest ending he actually could have gotten.
