Interview #1109: Firefight Signing Line Audio, Entry #18

Question (Paraphrased)

Why do you have so many series going on at once instead of finishing one of them?

Brandon Sanderson

A couple of reasons. The main one is that it’s the way I stay fresh as a writer, I find that I get burned out on things. Another main one is that I feel if I’m not practicing different styles, I’ll get into a rut, and my writing will repeat itself. It’s kind of like a philosophical reason and an instinctual one. I tell people who are annoyed that I’m not writing Stormlight that you wouldn’t get Stormlight any faster if I weren’t writing these other books in between&mdasyou might get it more slowly, because it’s working on other things that really rejuvenates me as a writer. So I would be writing at a Rothfuss speed if I weren’t jumping between things.
