He's only writing one episode per season and I would not be surprised if he only did this for the first season (as it should be after he finishes ADWD) and waived it for the later ones as he tries to finish THE WINDS OF WINTER in a faster timeframe than the last two books.
The rest of the time he doesn't really have that kind of presence. He won't be on-set the whole time (he's in Santa Fe, they're filming 5,000 miles away in Belfast) and most of the other decisions will be taken via email. For the most part he's letting David Benioff - an experienced and capable writer and producer in his own right - and Dan Weiss get on with their job as show-runners.

Would anyone else besides myself gladly give up the TV series for faster completion of the books?

I don't see how that would be relevent. If they canceled he might get disheartened.

Better that he be disheartened for a few weeks than have him spend months on scriptwriting, etc.

I'm also guessing this means there's little chance of resolving the cliffhangers from Feast.

I'm starting to lose interest. It's hard to stay excited for years when aFfC sucked balls. *NM*
