I guess he got so much money from the TV show and earlier books that he's set for life and has no incentive to write any more (and I don't blame him). Even if that would be the case, I guess he'd still have some sort of contract with his publisher that he needs to fulfill.

Probably because he's burned-out with the whole universe and lost track of all the storylines in his books. | ||

He's hit a wall Yeah he waited too long to really get into the heart of the messages he wanted to get across, and to do so, he expanded the story far beyond it's initial scope, the Ironborn explosion and the Meereeneese knot have complicated things far beyond his ability to control. | ||

Martin has prided himself on his story being logical and internally consistent even though it's in the fantasy genre. I think he dropped the ball with the Ironborn. It's hard to imagine an economically and technologically backward nation the size of Cuba being a major military power in a continent the size of South America. Books 4 and 5 seem similar to what happened to Robert Jordan in the middle of his series. He just got so lost in his world he didn't know how to finish his story. | ||

For what it's worth - I wasn't able to finish Jordan's story either... The same goes for Martin really, I've dropped the books after A Storm of Swords and never got any real inclination to pick them up again as I was no longer interested in the vast majority of the characters that were left alive and didn't really care where the story is going to go. | ||
