So OUTSOURCE it. There are probably a thousand very talented writers that would collaborate on writing the books, coming up with plot, tracking canon, and GRR can just cruise in and edit/supervise.
Hell, you can probably train an AI to check the canon.
If he just likes being famous and making money, do that. He'll be more famous and more rich, and the people get books to read.
It's going to happen when he dies, so if he wants some say in what happens, he should do it now. Otherwise it will get Disney Star Wars'd.
And you know what? GoT will NEVER be remade the way it is. I guess he doesn't have any children, so he doesn't care.
He can't, because he's emotionally invested 100% in pride of his writing. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be proud, but it's pride that keeps him from farming out the writing while keeping absolute-dictator control of the approved product.
Seth McFarlane won't make another season of The Orville for the same reason: he has to write each episode.
The Conchords TV series ended because it was too much work to write new songs for each episode.

Each is reasonable, yet unreasonable.
