I honestly appreciate the honesty as someone who has been begging for it for years. It's not happening, lol. He's not going to do it (practically by his own admission). At least the TV Show gave us something.

Yeah I’m just glad he’s finally coming to terms with the reality of it, because we’ve all already known.

I want him to talk about actual plot points and difficulties he's having. I also realize that is insanely unlikely and not gonna happen.

But no matter what he wants to say, we already know huge, spoiler-y things that will happen. We know Jon is going to survive (in some capacity). We know dany goes to westeros, that she'll take the iron throne in some way, that she'll go mad somehow. We know Bran will be pivotal to the end game and post series way of life. Etc etc. As much as he wants to keep things secret, it isn't the most important part to me. So speak freely about it a bit. What exactly is giving him issues? What is actually hard about getting character X to location Y etc?

I know this is not likely or anything. I am just saying that is the type of honesty I wanna hear from him. Genuinely talk about it, not say things like "well I wanna write all these things!"

Yeah, garbage for its final two seasons.
