I appreciate the time you take to communicate with your fans and your prolific and consistently excellent work.

  1. In honor of Sir Tery Pratchett’s passing, which of his works has most impacted you as a writer?

  2. What has been your favorite Magic draft format?

  3. At what point did you first realize that you had fans scouring your works for hints of the Cosmere?

  4. Can an Awakened form a nahel bond with a spren on Roshar?

  5. Are spren bound to Roshar or can they travel to other worlds? Could they do so if they were bound to someone that traveled to other worlds?

  6. Will we eventually see a collection of short stories from various worlds in the Cosmere like Shadows for Silence and Sixth of Dust?

  1. I’d say The Truth, which was the first Pratchett that really got its hooks into me. Something about newspapers, the quest for what was true, and the themes of writing.

  2. If cube counts, cube. If not, triple ROE followed closely by Innistrad. (Have set cubes of both, now.) Shards block was fun too, as was original Ravnica.

  3. Right around Mistborn Three’s release–while I was working on Warbreaker, I think–where people started to realize this “Hoid” thing was relevant.

  4. Depends on the spren!

  5. RAFO. Excellent question, though.

  6. Yes, you will. Tor is trying to pin me down on one as we speak, actually, but I’m not sure when I can promise one. (I’d want a collection to have at least one new story, original to it.)
