Interview #121: Barnes and Noble Chat, Entry #5

Dave from Mankato, Minnesota

What sort of things caused the Wheel of Time series to be so much longer than you originally anticipated? Culture description, character development, new plot developments, etc.? Or something else?

Robert Jordan

Not new plot, certainly. But I have been over-optimistic from the beginning about how much of the story I could get into each book. And in each case, I’ve found that I had to leave out things that I wanted to put into this book—or in any given book—and do them later.
