Just a few notes on the way out the door here. 1) I blogged about The Name of the Wind last week, thinking I’d be able to get a copy of book two this week. Looks like my information was out-dated! I was going off of the DAW catalogue I picked up at a trade show last year, and that information was reinforced by the release date of Book Two as presented by the Amazon data aggregating website I use. (Titlez.) Both said book two was out this week. Only, I forgot to watch Pat’s own blog, because he admitted a few months back that the book had to be pushed back because of family issues. It’s a bummer, but it looks like Pat has been through the wringer lately, and my heart certainly goes out to him. Looks like Book Two will be out next April, but that’s no reason not to go grab the brand spanking new paperback of book one.
2) There’s a new Writing Excuses podcast this week. It was posted on Monday, and we’re continuing to do this every Monday. Just a little reminder!
3) Those of you from forums where I am occasionally known to haunt may have noticed a lack of posts from me recently. I haven’t simply turned to my lurking ways, unfortunately. I’m swamped with A Memory of Light , and have had to scale back on my forum visitations. I think this is going to be a busy year, and I need every spare moment I can to work on this book and to try (ha ha) to keep up on my email. So, I’m sorry to all you wonderful folks—no offense or anything like that. Just too busy to visit. I’ll try to still make appearances on my own forums, though. (Note if you haven’t seen the Allomancy conversations going on there, you’re missing out. Also, you guys in those discussions are crazy. Fun, but crazy.)
4) There is no number four.
I think that’s everything for now. Annotations and Warbreaker should get posted on Friday after I get back and recover from Thursday. (Six hours of travel followed by a three hour class. What fun . . . )
