Sure, Tolkien's writing may have the odd issue. On the other hand, GRRM wrote such a clusterfuck of a boring Middle Eastern savior fantasy detour that he killed his entire series, and has been avoiding it religiously for decades. I would be pretty embarrassed to open my great big yap, if I were him.
My dude, you got a plotcliff
In the 8th Dungeon Crawler Carl, Matt Dinniman said he understands how certain people could get "clogged". I swear if he doesn't finish the series, I'm going to burn down a Barnes and Noble.

Is it possible to follow you on Voyager? I'll never remember your username
Iāve heard Patrick Rothfuss speak at events in person twice since he released the second book of the Kingkiller trilogy in 2011. Both times an audience member asked him how to deal with writerās block, and he responded āYou donāt get to have Plumberās Block. If your job is to write, you write.ā The third book is still not written enough for him to release a chapter of it like he promised as part of his kickstarter stretch goal five years back.
I guess what Iām saying is admitting to writerās block and not finishing a book donāt always go hand in hand.
Not that I'm a writer, but I usually tell myself it's OK to write badly the first go-round. The stories I've posted here are all based on (admittedly maladaptive) daydreams, so I usually start writing whatever scene is in my head, then bounce around as my muse permits.
I'm also honest with myself about the quality of my finished product. It's not a T-bone you get at a steakhouse, it's a hotdog you buy at the ball park. As long as it's worth the time it takes to read than I consider it a success.
actual plot holes or fan nitpicking who think they are smarter than they are. Thats a bit cruel. Sometimes folks just like to debate about beloved topics.
Tolkien had started a sequel. And never finished it. Also, it was his son that polished up the silmarilian
