Is this delay more a laziness thing, or a cancer thing?


Its a combination of a few things.

He does not have cancer. He's just old and morbidly obese, and he travels A LOT, so people just assume he will drop dead.

He does seem to be a bit lazy, but thats pure speculation.

He travels A LOT. He is loving the life and fame and is taking full advantage of it. He has a variety of interests and topics and just seems to not care that much about devoting his full attention to ASOIAF. He is loving life and living it.

He has been stuck these past few books on some storylines that have just taken forever. Most people thought that once he got over that particular hump, he would be ok. He hasn't been.

He is doing it the Lord Gaben way which is why we don't have Half-Life 3.

Ah yes, and he only writes on one old arse computer in one room in his house in New Mexico.

He does not write anywhere else. And he seems to never be home.

Now that you say that, I do remember reading something about that. I had always heard he had cancer or something like that, and that his health was horrible, but then I saw something where he was like "I'm not sick...I just don't live a healthy lifestyle at all."



So it's more of a lazy thing. There are a LOT of people super attached to this series, so if he manages to not finish it that will assuredly piss massive amounts of people off. That being said, though, I can't hate on the dude for living it up now that he finally got his piece of fame.
