Yeah I saw that. He made a pretty convincing case that the only new content George had written was during lockdown in the pandemic, the rest was all stuff that he cut from Dance of Dragons.
Now, George Martin doesn’t owe anyone anything, it just makes me sad that this series will never be finished.
I wish it for his sake. I have ADHD and I’m plenty familiar with the guilt-dread cycle where you’re meant to be working on something that you can’t bring yourself to face. I can imagine the situation he’s in is emotionally pretty similar, even without ADHD, and that makes me sad. I hope he’s doing okay. I hope he’s happy and comfortable in his life and not experiencing this dread cycle, even if I’d prefer he be open with fans.

He doesn’t owe us anything, but I wish he would at least be honest and say, “hey y’all, sorry but I’m not really interested in these books anymore”.
