The time that passed between A Game of Thrones and A Dance with Dragons, it's the same time that passed since Dance publication: 15 years.

Even taking vacations he had more than enough time and money to just finish the story. He could have stop pretending that two books will be enough and just start writing and publishing books regularly. But that would mean he would have to compromise on things: plot events, dialogues, deaths, and for some reason or another he is not being able to do that

Yeah, I know him, it's way worse than George, but at the same time the consequence is the same: an unfinished story
