Probably the pandemic is meant to stay until he finally finishes the book.

I had given up on the series since he started publishing prequels like Fire and Blood, but now, I am hopeful that he'll finish the book. He had been busy with the TV series and other things. With the pandemic raging, I don't think he'll be super busy with Hollywood. Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I am grateful that he did not complete his series. Hear me out first! When I first read The Game of Thrones, it was an ebook. I immediately bought the paperback set, only to realise a few months later that the series is not complete. (yes, I never google because ages ago, I was reading a Dan Brown book, and I accidentally ruined it for me by reading out what happens in the end). After finishing the last book, I was stunned. No, I have read LoTR, but ASOIAF was unlike anything I have ever read, including the Mahabharata (which, is much more complex and originally written as Sanskrit verses). But, that gave me motivation to finally start writing novels. I am not a famous author just yet. I have been writing consistently for the last six years, and I have published only one short story on Kindle a few weeks ago. I find that GRRM has encouraged a lot of writers to write. The first thing I did when I started to write was to read his advice for new authors and it was great. His #1 advice is 'stop writing in my universe or Star wars universe of JRR's universe. Creating characters and world building is a significant part of story telling and you will not be an author until you do so. otherwise you are just writing fan fiction' That month, I wrote my first short story. Then my first short film script which won the silver script award in India Film Project 2007. Since then, I have written four full length novels. I am currently working on my fifth novel. And all this has been because GoT's next book isn't coming out and I was so frustrated about that, that I started writing my own novels. (I know it does not sound logic, but that's how I felt. Damn it, I'm writing my own novels!)

  Most people would just read other novels. There’s a LOT out there. But congrats on writing your own.

    Yes, but the thing is, I had always wanted to write a novel. Reading GoT and finding it incomplete just gave me a push.
