In fact, his time spent blogging about writing, conventions, tv shows, NY-based sports teams, and figurine painting are all evidence that actually sitting down and churning out words for the books is something that's lower on his list priorities than many, many other things. His "openness" about sucking at deadlines is not eveidence that he's still invested.
He's not working on it. He's making a career out of talking about working on it.
It's OK if you're choosing drinking his kool-aid. Just don't expect the rest of us to do so. Novel-writing is merely his hobby now that his fortunes have been effectively severed from his ability to deliver a finished product in a reasonable amount of time.

Nice theory except he doesn’t need a connection to the series anymore so why bother talking about it as a career. He continues to work as an editor for Wild Cards, and obviously still has some ties with his other series becoming shows.
It’s fine if you’re too cynical to take him at his word but don’t pretend like your cynicism is actual evidence that the rest of us should pay any attention to.
