I think he will too ... unless he dies first ... though I suspect there is a lot more written already than he admits to.
He is sure to have gotten some anxiety, but really when you look at all he has been up to, and the degree of milking he was willing to go to, that he just spread himself too thin, and seemingly even burnt out ... lost his mojo ... probably by getting too out of touch with what he was up to ... with all that complexity especially. And he just filled his life with too many distractions.
I suspect, that he wants (just like Robert Jordan did) to get some prequel stuff out, which he has done with his latest addition - Fire & Blood. It is also probably helping him to get back in touch with where he was at, and provide a way forward perhaps ... indirectly so, maybe. Perhaps a method to overcome some kind of writer's block with significant ideas not being forthcoming otherwise.
All conjecture of course ... but seems logical to me.
