He writes a damn thesis explaining himself, classically not making excuses while making excuses. Almost flippantly throwing in all the extracaricular activities that have distracted him. Like a wedding. A wedding!? That's a weekend out of 6 ****ing years!
Maybe I am being unfair. I probably am. But I know this with every fiber of my being...I don't care how unaware I am of the difficulties of being a writer in his unique situation, NEVER under any circumstances would I let down my long-time readers like this. NEVER would outside popularity take my attention over my loyalty to them. I am not talking about me, **** readers like me. I read all the books in a 2 month stretch, I didn't wait 20 flipping years. To me, all the excuses and realities aside, he failed the people that made his dream come true and made him rich and famous.

I hate George Lucas too, for ****ing up Star Wars, which I loved, but ultimately entertainers don't "owe" us anything. Consume their entertainment and give them your money if you want. Don't if you don't want.
You don't "own" them and get to force them to write faster, or whatever. And they don't owe you anything. Be glad the tv show will give us a complete story, whether or not it's the one he would have liked, becaues the chances are small he will complete all the books before he dies.
