GRRM admitted in a letter back around '92, when he was shopping the first book and the idea of the whole series around to publishers, that once he knows how a story will end he loses interest in writing the ending. He also said he doesn't usually follow an outline; he just starts writing and goes where he feels the story is taking him. Which probably explains why books 4 and 5 were such a mess.
