To some extent, I'm sure you're right, but GRRM is a discovery writer, so he has a general gist of what he's doing in mind, but kind of lets the story take him wherever it goes.
That's why this "trilogy" is currently looking like it'll be 7 books. (And let's be honest - it wouldn't surprise anyone if it took more than that.)
