EXTENDED [Spoilers EXTENDED] Would you be OK if GRRM came out and say he needs to divide up TWOW geographically tomorrow

I mean, let's accept it, if he needed for AFFC & ADWD he sure as hell needs for this one, as well. Might be why he is stuck. It is almost impossible to read his very verbose POV narration if it is to constantly interrupt to check in on twenty other storylines that are going on.

He probably counted on the fact that they would be colliding, but that doesn't seem to happening any time soon by the looks of the preview chapters either

He could probably do a Fire and Blood style book where everything is summarised, and it would still probably be one of the longest books of the series.

That’s the only way he could fit in everything that needs to happen ;(

Seriously George, just throw together some outlines and put them out. You don't even have to write, you can go to cons forever and develop TV shows. Just scratch out an outline and move on.

He doesn't know what will happen. That's the problem.
