He also seems keenly aware that the finale to GoT Season 8 was highly insufficient. Others have noted that George has no ''reason'' to continue his work because the existing books have allowed him to rest on his laurels quite comfortably, and he's never been known as being the most energetic writer to begin with (and frankly, is a bit of a whiner to boot).

Every time he eats another cheeseburger it's practically a miracle that he doesn't keel over right on the spot. Therefore the probability that he'll be alive for more than a few more years (and somehow wrap up the entirety of his life's work between now and then) seems increasingly remote with every passing day.

			Instead of actually getting off his ass and finishing ASOIAF, he worked on a [[Video games\|vidya]], helping to bring the world of [[Dark Souls]] spiritual successor Elden Ring into existence, so at least he created a (mostly) complete world and storyline even if his magnum opus never gets its bookend.
