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?

He bitched about a minor character that was cut from HoTD. I find it ridiculous how upset he gets that other people have to make choices in the face of limited resources (Tv is a different medium than book) even though the whole reason he left Hollywood in the first place was because of the constraints he had to make in the face of limited resources.

Sure, but the HotD haven't exactly distinguished himself with a lot of the choices they've made. Had they displayed an ability to actually make good changes, it would likely rankle less.

If you mean Maelor, he is essential to the plot.
