He's not done answering yet, but his latest comments are easiest to find (I'll be updating it).

Please proceed, Governor.

Chris Christie (2016) said:

There it is.

Elizabeth Warren (2020) said:

And no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.

I really like the man's approach to his fanbase, and his stance on ebooks. It's very progressive and I hope authors like him manage to bully publishers into a realistic stance regarding digital media.

Tidbit from the Q&A that will probably get discussed a fair bit regarding the stormlight archive:

Quote

1) I had eight characters I wanted to tell a story about, and wanted to give each one a book to include flashbacks and specific character development. Once I got to outlining, I realized that I had material for about ten books, and ten was a very special number in the world. So I settled on that.

It will be paced and plotted much as the first, though I plan the future books to be a little shorter than the first establishing one. There will be two primary five-book arcs, so you could consider it two series of five, if you'd prefer.



So completely new main character in the next book? Or just a shift of focus onto someone who played a lesser role?

He stated that all the main characters are introduced but the next books are going to have flash-backs from a different main character, and I believe he also said book 2 was Shallans 'flash-back' book.

which i am looking forward to. much as I like dalinar, having a dalinar-centric book right after a book where he was the second-largest viewpoint could get... tiring.

one book i absolutely cannot wait for is the one where we finally get a hoid pov. i actually cackled with glee when i read that.
