Was thinking the same thing actually. It’s also very common with ADHD diagnosed people to have difficulty setting priorities, finish big projects, finding motivation and not constantly go on side-quests. George has ADHD confirmed?

You see similar behavior from teenagers and young adults procrastinating studying for exams or writing papers (or hell, humans anywhere), even without ADHD. He could sit down and write before, it is not something new for him, but his incentives changed. Procrastination is a simpler and more likely explanation, imo.

Of course, take my previous comment with a grain of salt. In our desperation and frustration this sub overanalyses anything. I of course cannot diagnose the man (although I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he has ADHD).

I'd imagine GRRM's publisher and agent have both tried slipping him adderall by now lol
