re: George RR Martin has a message for people who don't think he will finish ASOIAF

Well if you're waiting on D&D to tell the ending of this story then you're really fricked because they've shown nothing to prove they are capable of finishing the story in any way that will leave fans satisfied.

You will get a rushed story that leaves out huge parts that D&D deem aren't important to the story while getting the ending spoiled for you.

And why do people always say he no longer cares? He does care. Very deeply about this series. What he doesn't care for is fans asking every day about when the next book is coming out. And when/if he's gonna die.

Why can't he enjoy his success? He works relentlessly at this series. There are so many things in asoiaf that you haven't even dreamed about that tie in or are clues to the story. It takes time to put all of that together.
