re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

I hear the frustration from my brethren, and hate to add to it... Is it possible the TV series gig was a trade for less "creative control" over GOT? If true, the implications are endless...

Or is Martin just packing a golden parachute in case GOT is cancelled ( more likely, catches up to ADwD and can't continue...without a significant reduction in GRRM's CC over the show )

Or is Martin just sucking the marrow out of every potential red cent ASoIaF makes NOW, cause he knows he'll never complete it?

I'm not alone in doubting he has the testicular fortitude (or years left) to do an about-face in his writing, and turn all these diverging story lines into one acceptably cohesive tale. Even to come close (leaving a few loose ends) would be an enormous task.
