While he was also teaching postgraduate anthropology, and doing his own research and publishing it as well. He had a fucking day job, and he write a full 600+ page book every single year, got his series done, didn't go to a single comic-con to shit on other writers, and is still writing more.
Meanwhile your excuse for GRRM is, "You paid for FIVE books!" Its been fucking what, nearly thirteen or fourteen YEARS since the last book came out? Oh, but he wrote a prequel in the meantime, I bet you'll come up with. So he can still write, he just fucking quit mid-work. Fuck GRRM.
I'm glad I quit reading A Game of Thrones due to his boring, dry, plodding writing style and didn't give him any more money, and I'm glad I only watched a pirated version of his show. Dude does not deserve the notoriety he's gotten. Not when there are writers who actually finish their fucking books.
I am absolutely fine if he never finishes. There are lots of stories, fiction or not, that never got to any ending. I’m not his lawyer, but people need to leave the man alone
