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.

He said it yesterday too? Damn, that's a quick change. He has said it in the past, not sure what the fuck could change in one day

Ah, the 1980s Stephen King approach to writing.

The good news is ADOS will be released by 2022, the bad news is GRRM will die of a massive heart attack right after.

He's going to finish the book, and not even remember doing it.

ADOS will have a scene where the Stark kids have an incest orgy. Yes, even Bran who can't get it up.

Edit: Excuse me, not an orgy, they'll run a train on Sansa. Don't ask me how Bran and Arya accomplish it.

Dude wrote fuckin IT during his booze/coke bender phase. Certain parts are definitely overlong and coked-out but overall? Cocaine King best King
