You’ve been described as “insanely prolific,” and with all of your recent releases that’s an apt descriptor. How do you find the time to write so much, and more importantly, how do you keep the stories and characters fresh?
I will write something big, like one of the Wheel of Time books or Words of Radiance, and once I’m done with it I’ll need a break. But the thing I find most fun in the world is writing—I don’t want to go do something else, I want to write something—but I want to write something I don’t have to write. So a lot of these side projects you’re seeing—this is where The Rithmatist and Steelheart came from—are from me taking a break from the big epics to do something a little different, to have a change of pace.
