Out of all the speculation and theories out there does anybody think there are any that GRRM doesn't tie up by the end of the series? Assuming he lives long enough to actually finish the series in the first place.

I think that he let his writing run away from him after book 2. There are way too many possible outcomes that he has foreshadowed and I think thats probably the honest reason that he is taking so long to write books, despite the multiple other projects he makes time to complete every year. If you have read the Dunk and Egg Novels along with books 1-5 you've probably noticed this. 90% of the foreshadowing for the story as a whole was done in Book 1 when he intended a 3 book series. I just want to see it finished at this point.

According to the mixed responses from his interviews I'm pretty certain that he isn't decided on what it means to be a head of the dragon, a dragon rider, a Targ, a worg, or how any of those correlate with the others. Dany has been immune to fire and then suddenly not about 3 times now. He hinted at Robb's wife being with child before completely debunking that idea in the show. And god only knows if Arthur Dayne is Mance Rayder, I feel like a mosh of his fan forums could have finished the thing off by now.
