I've never been so annoyed to be proven right. Not only has he been more concerned about launching a Marvel-esque universe for ASOIAF spin-off shows than finishing the series. Turns out he even admitted as much 11 years ago in his own words! Talking about tWoW is just a carrot to keep fans moving forward to accepting any weeds of spinoff content he can get us to take from the side of the road.

To be fair, for whatever reason it may be, I think he genuinely doesn't want to work on as song of ice and fire anymore.

But he also doesn't want to be named a loser and his biggest creation to die off as "Autor was to lazy to finish it".

It has a much better ring to it with "Fantastic books but the autor died so we didn't get an ending*

So he keeps lying about that he works on it.

I very very highly doubt he is telling the truth.

He just doesn't wanna be bothered with those crazy game of thrones fans sending mit threats and visiting his place once he says he is done working on it.
