he's got no reason to finish it now. He told the show writers all the twists and the ending and they're just about to wrap things up and reveal who live and who dies. He shot himself in the foot. Because no matter what he writes 'differently' the secrets are already going to be out of the bag. He's a slow writer anyway but now what little motivation he did have - to surprise fans, to enjoy their reactions to his twists, to get to zing people with his ending - are all taken away from him. He can finish the books but the impact of them isn't going to be the same after the last TV season of the show drops. Any differences he writes into the story won't be enough when his big endgame is going to be out there before he gets to publishing point. He doesn't strike me as creative or motivated enough to come up with a whole different ending from what he'd planned, and told the showrunners, all along. Also I know he's anti-fanfic but it would have really helped him not to be because the fanfic writer mind set of rewriting a story AU while making it fit in the universe/canon/characters et. is really what he's being expected to do at this point even if the original idea was his in the first place.

Not saying I don't get why he did it. That's a lot of money and he probably told himself he'd have plenty of time to churn out his books before the show got to that point. Just saying - as a writer - he lost a big chunk of what motivates writers to write when he let someone else tell his story before he was done with it himself.
