Some authors might know how they want a story to end when they begin but after a decade of writing things in that initial concept have usually changed for authors like GRRM. I only learned a few days ago that there are two kinds of authors, plotters or pantsers. Plotters write their books with a detailed plan in place while pantsers write by the "seat of their pants" and let the characters they've created grow and dictate the direction of the plot as they move along. GRRM is a pantser; he creates amazing characters but his plans change as the characters change. He might have had a certain ending in mind when he started but now that ending may no longer be possible with how his characters have changed.Interesting article on this and why the last two seasons of GoTs seemed so underwhelming to many (show producers ran out of GRRM material and were forced to go off on their own):<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/game-of-thrones-plotters-vs-pantsers/" target="_blank">https://www.wired.com/story/game-of-thrones-plotters-vs-pantsers/</a></blockquote>
