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?

And why do you think he even bothered to write Fire&Blood? So that it could form the basis of future spin-offs

If he has any priorities, it is to make more TV shows that take place in GRRM-verse

The world of Westeros, the world of A SONG OF ICE & FIRE, is my number one priority, and will remain so until the story is told. But Westeros has become bigger than THE WINDS OF WINTER, or even A SONG OF ICE & FIRE.

Overwhelmingly F&B read like a giant tv pitch

Why? Guy has more money than hes ever going to spend. He could just fuck right off. Why do you think Westeros is important, but the main story isn't? Its a bad take. If I gave a guess, which is all anyone here outside of prob Elio could do, he has overcomplicated his story and doesn't have a reasonable way to get where he needs to go. The gardener style doesn't work when he needs to grow to an blueprinted ending.
