Who was the first character you came up with when you were going to write the Wheel of Time—was it Rand?
I can’ t really say who the first character was that I came up with. I was thinking of a number of types of people and how they would work together. And they coalesced into certain characters.
And all the rest of the story developed while you wrote it? Wow. Amazing, and what an imagination! Hmm, I think I’m jealous.
It was really only the details that have developed as I write the story. The major part of it was there in my head before I began writing The Eye of the World .
