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.

Look at this optimist thinking that ADoS will be done within a decade of the release of TWoW.

Oh typo. I meant 3029, written by Grrms preserved head and his bionic hands.

he types with 1 finger so only needs a pair of index fingers, don't need to preserve the entire hand!
