He wants to do a time skip but a time skip brings with it its own issues. This is exactly why he's stuck; there's no elegant way to move the story along

I never understood why ha didn't just timeskip dani alone, it's not like her story is really connected to everything else

How would that work? You have to time skip everything

He could pretend her timeline was separate than the other characters. But that wouldn't make sense when Tyrion meets up with her.

because dany's events are far removed from what happens to anybody else you can just write her attacking KL and nobody would bat an eye, I doubt anybody really cares about the mereneese knot.

I understand it's hacky writing and really devalues the whole thing, but I just hope he wraps it up in his lifetime

King Rob talked about the events going on all the time with Daenerys. It's not that far removed.

yeah but that's in book 1, her most recent story isn't really that well connected
