He's not writing anything, because he knows that he's old and fat and will probably die soon, therefore doesn't have much time left to blow all that advance money on hookers, drugs and cheeseburgers...
He'll probably kick it in not-too-far future, at which point his publishers will hire a bunch of mediocre fantasy porn writers to "finish" the next 17 installments of the series. Because - f*ck you, you'll buy it...
As an outsider, it seems as though he's lost the passion for this story. I'm sure he loves the attention and money as much as he hates the pressure to finish. I read somewhere that he said that he would never allow anything else to write this story. Enjoy the HBO series
