So what are the odds Martin has been writing TWOW as long as he has because he's basically been rewriting the entire latter third of the series?
It's been assumed for a while now that he told the GOT showrunners everything about his plans for the series. However, Martin may have realized at some point that the show was going to catch and pass him, so all his tricky twists and all his clever surprises would be unveiled. And Martin, as we all know, lives off those things. He's fundamentally a TV writer at heart; his bread and butter is plot twists, shock deaths, and surprise endings.
I'll bet he decided he couldn't fucking handle ending the series with his original plan now that the show was going to spoil it, so he tore it all up and is taking everything in a new direction. I'd bet my life on it.
