Other than taking five years in between to actually write the novels? That alone is probably worthy of a massive headache. GRRM has already even set out the names for the books and says he'll end it with the seventh but the possibility of an eighth is still there.

It's one of those 'shit or get off the pot' deals.

I'd add "taking 6 years to write a novel that he claimed, back in 2005, was largely finished and would be out in a year."

I don't hold out much hope of the series being finished before about 2025, and by that time, half the people who are fans now probably won't even care. People's interests change over time, yet Martin is acting as if he expects his fans to be every bit as thrilled to get A Dream of Spring sometime in the mid-2020s as if it had come out twenty years before. In a way, that seems almost as entitled to me as the fans who piss and moan that GRRM "owes" them the next book Right Now.
