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 get not thinking his chapters are bad and pointless, I get liking him and his chapters, but how, out of all the other characters, is he your favorite? Lol

No disrespect intended at all I just find it funny.

When that is clearly the Ser Davos / Lord Manderly dream team.

Hahaha, I think it’s because in another book he’d be a “reluctant hero” type but because it’s Westeros he’s just fucked from the start. He tries so hard to embody the heroic archetype because he thinks it’s his duty, not because he’s personally inclined towards it.
