GRRM is a con man.
He has no clue how to end the series. In addition to having no plan laid out, he wants to subvert everyone's expectations.
So now he's sitting on his fat arse eating pizza and waiting for inspiration to strike him with an ending that makes perfect sense but also that none of his fans have thought of yet.
Dumb bastard still hasn't figured out this is an impossible task.

For me it’s over. They used his outline to crown Bran and banish Jon Snow / Aegon Targaryon. It went over like a lead balloon, and you’re right, he can’t think of a way to improve it without borrowing from the million iterations of fan fiction. I’m pretty sure that if he ever spits out this book it’s gonna suck.

Somewhere in this thread there is a meme/story outline where Jaime pulls lightbringer from Breanne and kills the night king.
Brings his story arc/development to completion and a clever twist on him being called king slayer the whole series.
That should be part of the ending.

I’m still irrationally angry over Jaime’s end in GoT.

I would rather a sucky complete story as opposed to an incomplete one. And who cares if he borrows from some fan fiction, there's nothing wrong with that. There was fan fiction/ideas before the show ended, that's nothing new.
Even if the end of the book is a disappointment, it's still probably going to be a decent book and I'd at least give him props for trying. There's nothing he's done that would tell me it would be a bad book, just possibly disappointing, which is fine. There's nothing worse than just leaving your fans hanging an not caring about finishing.

A little bird just told me on the down low that this is the year. It'll be late, but by next December we'll be braving the winds of winter.

I anticipate the anticipation if someone else can verify this.

Could be a very good year for fantasy fans with rumors GRRM, Scott Lynch, and Patrick Rothfuss all finally releasing their next book

by the way, if yall boys love ASOIAF but pissed off about the delays and the ending of GoT, i highly recommend The First Law by joe abercrombie. there's about 9 books in the series (2 trilogies, and 3 standalones) and its just epic, dark, and very immersive.
i was sad when i turned the last page, but i'm hopeful that the series is not really over...there's not closure on all plots, although if its really over, i'm ok with that too as the end is satisfying.
