I think it's particularly idiotic to criticize an author for "procrastinating" when you don't have a clue about the whole process of writing, or his own situation with the monster he created.
I think it's fair. He wrote himself into a terribly overly complex story. He himself refers to Dany's current storyline in the books as the "Meereenese Knot" because he complicated it to the point where he had no clue how to go on from there. A lot of his fans agree that the first three were higher quality than the last two. He's introduced so many factors so late and now he realizes that he needs to start wrapping it up and he has no clue how.
Plus he should know himself by now. He has consistently overestimated his writing pace. He told his publishers he'd have a full manuscript ready to edit by January of this year. He wasn't close to finished. And I feel bad for him because no matter what he says in interviews I know hes upset that the TV show is revealing things that he's spent over a decade building up to. But he's got nobody to blame but himself.
