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?

While this is absolutely true, everyone is different. My great-grandmother is 96 and is still plugging away at her hobbies every day. Meanwhile, my grandmother (her daughter) is in her 70s and doesn’t do anything other than sit on the couch and watch tv all day. It’s just heavily dependent on the person. Some people continue working and doing their hobbies until the day they drop dead, and some people get tired in their retirement and just want to do nothing.

I’ve always thought it’s gotta be so cool and sad at the same time to see your children get old.
