I'm just linking this for people who love Sanderson and want to read everything written by him, be it books or just normal website comments, lol.

He's a redditor too? Do his days have more hours in them than mine or something, the guy churns out novels at breakneck speed while still hanging out on the biggest time-sucking website on the internet...

Seriously though, I like his stance on digital vs hardcopy that was being discussed in one of the topics - it would be awesome if harcopies came with bundled ebooks and it's nice to know that there are authors out there who want to make something like that happen, rather than just rake in as much cash as possible.

I agree, since I often by both the hardcopy and the ebook.

I am sad because it's after the 1st (when he said he was going to start re-reading WoT) and he hasn't been tweeting much. I hope he isn't over it for good; he's been relatively silent the past few months.

Of course, I'm probably reacting a little prematurely since it's only the 3rd. I just want a WoT tweet! Pwease Brandon? (Not that he's likely to listen to me. )

[Terez]

lol, and the official tweet came today!

Brandon said:

Happy New Year, all. It is official--I have begun working on A Memory of Light, 14th and final book of the Wheel of Time.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

They have told us a few things, like the fact that RJ wrote the Ghenjei sequence, but everything that RJ wrote was in draft form and has been edited/revised by Brandon to match style.

[Terez]

Yeah, the only things I can think of offhand that we know for sure RJ wrote:

first POV in the TGS prologue (the Borderland farmer)
Ghenjei
last scene

There are several things we know for sure Brandon wrote, such as the True Power scene in TGS, ch.s 49-50, and ch.s 48-49 of TOM. It is probably pretty safe to assume Brandon wrote most of it aside from the aforementioned.

One point is whether Brandon edited what RJ wrote or not. RJ might have left notes in draft form, half finished or finished. It probably wouldn't make sense to mark what's Brandon and what's RJ unless RJ left fairly finished notes (otherwise it might descend into a fair mess of footnotes and whatnot, in particular if RJ left different versions for the same scenes). I assume for the diehard fans, it could be fun to get unedited notes of RJ for the last three volumes published, although I predict that won't be a #1 bestseller. To have the RJ sections marked in the actual book, I think would be more a distraction than a boon.

As I already said, he did.

Agreed.

If you want to follow the conversation as Brandon does his re-read (some of it is very interesting), but you don't really do Twitter, then go here:
