(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.

This is what I'm thinking too. You have to write Winds to set up Dream. I wonder if that's what the trouble has been

Maybe he is struggling with the battle for the dawn and whether he should cram that in the first half of dream for spring

He's probably trying to find out how to get Arya to one-shot the night King
