GRRM allegedly knows the ending. It’s the broad strokes of what we saw on GOT. Martin’s problem isn’t lack of inspiration, as someone who has read too many of his blog posts for insight I’m confident it’s the opposite. He gets a new idea, has to rewrite hundreds of pages to make it work, then throws that out and rewrites again. That’s what happened with the first big break, for books 4 and 5. At least that was his problem a decade ago. Now it’s probably a mix of depressing disappointment at being beaten to the punch by GOT and his status as “important writer” as a distraction.
I’ve accepted long ago we won’t get the books to finish the series and moved on with other fiction. But if GRRM wanted to end the books he could punch them out and do so.

lmao, if it ends the way the show ended, I hope he never writes it
