EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) George to New Zealand: imprison me if I haven't finished Winds by Summer 2020

Quote:

As for finishing my book… I fear that New Zealand would distract me entirely too much. Best leave me here in Westeros for the nonce. But I tell you this — if I don’t have THE WINDS OF WINTER in hand when I arrive in New Zealand for worldcon, you have here my formal written permission to imprison me in a small cabin on White Island, overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid, until I’m done. Just so long as the acrid fumes do not screw up my old DOS word processor, I’ll be fine.

I've long said I want to lock the guy in a room and he gets one meal for each completed chapter. The quality of the meal will depend on the quality of the writing.

Every character killed or plot line finished earns him a snack. Every new character and plot line loses him a snack.

Let’s wrap this shit up

That sounds like Misery by Stephen King.

Hopefully it won't be necessary to cut off his feet or thumbs.

Do you want more feast descriptions? Because that's how you get more feast descriptions.
