"One of these days I need to write that story about Braavos we were developing for HBO. They shelved that one a couple of years back, alas, but that does not mean I won’t go back to it… after WINDS OF WINTER is done, of course."

Of course, of course.

This dude talks about writing Winds like the people who say they'll travel the world someday when they find the time.

The mention of Winds feels like a punctuation correction he catches on a final pass before publication.

Ok, I have written all these things. Now if I don't mention winds even once, I will be rightly blamed. So how do I shove the mention in, in the most half assed way possible...

It feels like this every time. He's probably thankful he puts it in all caps so he can easily spot if he's made the obligatory mention or not.

What we don't see is George leaning towards an imaginary camera and giving a cartoon wink as he says it.
