He’s written himself into a corner with too many divergent plot lines. There’s a reason why WoW is taking so long and at this point I’ll be surprised if the last book ever gets released.

Um, the show thoroughly diverged from the books by season 5. There's no reason to assume the path they took to the ending remotely resembles what Martin has in store.
