I'm not really butthurt, I just like the TV show better. I don't have to read these to find out the end of the story and as I said before there are a lot of better books to read that I won't have to wait years between only to find out they're not that good.

Yeah his videos aren't worth watching ever and he should be ashamed and punished. Chuk is a tard.@3:20 "when Ned cleaned his sword under the tree, was that a metaphorical masturbation?"

Someone needs to sit his fat ass down to a chair and make sure he's writing, and not just talking about writing.

Cersei's supposed to outlive all her children according to the prophecy she received as a child. It wasn't a surprise. When you say "they", do you mean Gurrm/the writers or the retarded Sand Snakes? If the latter, because they're retarded.

Most of the stuff that they come up with on their own, other than Hardhome and maybe a few other scenes, are pretty cringe worthy. I really don't have much faith in their ability to give this series a proper finish.

the absolute worst scene, was the attempt to rescue Theon. they run in, then tuck tail and run away in monty pythonesque fashion. i still cant get over that somebody actually wrote that scene and filmed it.

As long as the one doesn't mind taking off her clothes more, I won't give a fuck.

I thought this too, but tbh I'd rather have Sanderson working on his own stuff. I enjoy it more.

At one point, you should bite it and start collaborations. A lot of authors that find themselves bogged into popular series get an additional author in to revive their own motivation. Clarke was bugged all the time about making yet another sequel to 2001, so he picked Baxter and went at it. Weber had problem sustaining his ultra-popular Honor Harrington series, so he started bringing in others. Martin's already written plenty of collaborative works, even a novel: Hunter's Run (with Gardner Dozois and Daniel Abraham - half of "James S.A. Corey").
Or course Daniel Abraham would be the best collaborator for this, seeing as he wrote the graphic novel versions. But he has his yearly The Expanse volume, plus his own fantasy series, so he may not have the time either...
He's M.L.N Hanover too - a surprisingly busy guy. I recommend The Black Sun's Daughter for that matter, very clever plotting, I liked it more than most of his stuff as Daniel Abraham.

Pretty much this. It isn't as simple as sitting down and writing. If you aren't inspired or have a block or are stuck on a "boring" part or a part you think is written like shit, it can be hard to write anything. I'm sure the show has actually helped him a bit, but some outside help may be a good thing if he is really stuck.
