26 years is a long time with 2 more books to go

I've waxed and waned over whether or not I actually expect him to finish them. I think TWOW is substantially done, but he's going to tweak, edit and perfect every chapter before he lets it go. That is part of what slows him down - his other interests are a big part of it, as is writer's block (all but conceded by now), but as he evolved - I mean you can see it from GOT to the last two - he's just a much older, more methodical writer. And, this meticulousness is not making the finished product any better, IMHO, although he may think it is more polished and thorough.
