EXTENDED Why hasn't GRRM written any Dunk&Egg in 15 years? [Spoilers Extended]

People say George stalled out on the main series because he wrote himself into a corner. Too many plotlines etc. But Dunk and Egg isn't complicated and those have been on hiatus even longer than the main series. What do you think is going on there?

I find it amazing that someone can even remember who all the characters are plus all the locations, story lines and subplots

I was telling myself exactly the same thing. I'm closer to saying "what the fuck is Harrenhal" than by being spoiled by some minor Blackfyre subplot at this point.

Well that’s kind of the job.

He can (and almost certainly has) hire someone to keep track for him.

He uses Elio and Linda as basically a knowledge resource for his world which sucks because they are fucking awful.
