GRRM published the first three AOIAF books within 4 years, then two books in the next 11 years. It's been five more years since Dance.

Yeah... I think the scale of time between books in the series really helps illustrate to people who don't understand why so many are angry at GRRM just why we're pissed. The dude has already proven that he's capable of churning the books out when he wants to. He just doesn't want to. I don't buy any of his BS about the Knot. He acts like that was so difficult to overcome that it was on the scale of designing the Saturn 5 moon rocket. Whatever, George. If I millions of dollars to support me and fund my life and had all day, every day, to just sit and think about it, like he does, I could have plotted a way out of that in a week. The real problem is that he's lazy and spends his time either basking in the glory of the fame this has brought him, or doing nothing. He acts like it's all so complex at this point that he has to spend all day working out the minutiae and moving forward inch by painful inch, re-write after re-write to kill plot holes, when actually he's just not working on it at all.
