>Stormlight First Draft________3%

What the FUCK Sanderson? You had no problem pumping out WoT books every six months...

>> No.6738792

It's been 3% for a few days, Peter (his assistant) probably just hasn't updated the site yet (since he's copy editing Mistborn)

I'd guess 7 or 8 by now.

Also it's going to be slightly longer between WoR and Oathbringer than between Towers of Midnight and Memory of Light

Doesn't matter. It has been ages since "Words of Radiance" Shalaan and Kaladin might as well be dead.

It's been a year, it's going to be much shorter than the break between Kings and Radiance, and we're getting two Mistborn books in October and November.

"The Way of Kings" is his biggest hit since mid Wheel of Time. He is a fool to keep pushing mistborn because he wants movie deals and videogames (>adventure game page on his website).

>> No.6738854

>>6738845
He has to keep Mistborn up so that the modern era trilogy he's doing between Stormlight 5 and 6 will sell, and the scifi Mistborn trilogy (after Stormlight's over) is the capstone to the Cosmere.

Mistborn is crap compared to Wheel.

Wheel is weak in comparison to Kingkiller. He doesn't know that he is writing his swansong.

>> No.6738870

>>6738863
Why bring up Kingkiller with Sanderson? That's Rofuss

>> No.6738877

>>6738870
Sorry, I'm flustered and pissed off at Rofuss for not writing SHIT.

I meant Stormlight Archive.

Why am I so emotional about NYT bestseller fantasy novels

>> No.6739162

How the fuck is this nigga so prolific. He churns out doorstoppers like it aint even a thing, and far as I can tell (havent read anything by him, might read Way of Kings soon) they're pretty good.

Don't think Asimov wrote this much.

>Reading Brandon Sanderson
Literally Reddit: the Author

>>6739162
He writes 10 hours a day (12-5, 9-2), has an assistant for copy editing, and alternates series to keep himself fresh.

I think Asimov might have written more, he had a LOT of books (>300)

>tfw you want to write 10 hours a day but you get restless really easily
How do I make myself physically tired but mentally sharp?

>> No.6739209

>>6739197
He did write a shitton of books, but they were all around the 300-400 page range, if that. I'm taking into account how many series Sanderson has planned

You saved the day with your post!

Yippee!

Hooray!

It seems like he kind of has to continue Mistborn, to keep the larger Cosmere story in order.

I liked Alloy of Law so I have no problem with another book in that world. Been looking forward to it.

Pls dont respond to bait

Besides, John Green is already established as reddit the author. And if not him, then Martin Weir

>> No.6741979

>>6741973
John Green is Tumblr the writer

(at the same time, Sanderson has been doing an AMA for three months at this point)

>> No.6742601

>>6741979
I'd still say Weird would be a greater contender. The Martian seems to be as reddit as it gets.
