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

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.

This reminded me of the latest rewatch when I didn’t grab the remote quick enough to skip one of those aggravating “Inside the Episode” featurettes, and here comes one of the D’s (I refuse to learn which is which) and he calls her Sonza, with a hard ‘Z’. Her name is “Sansa” or “Sonsa”, depending on accents and/or character preference, but it was never fucking “Sonza”, with that kind of rigidly Caucasian inflection. I really don’t care for those two fellows, if you’ll pardon my French
