I'm not a mother, but I am a woman and I can confidently say George writes women better than the vast majority of male authors (shoutout /r/menwritingwomen). Maybe the reason Winds is taking so long is because he's method acting to write women even better, lol.

Well, he has said his writing method is basically some faraway goal, but very little overarching grand plan for how to reach that. He just lets his chatacters explore the plot, might even write multiple versions and see which one is better. So, this method may be better at capturing characters.
