I have six chapters left in The Eye of the World , should catch up by tonight. What scene are you most looking forward to in The Great Hunt ?
I love the ending. Probably that.
While doing your #wotrr, notice the metaphors. Loved RJ’s style there. Not noticed in new book. Great though. Halfway so far.
Every time I try to do a Jordan-esque metaphor, I fail, so I remove it. It’s an aspect of his style I can’t imitate, I’m afraid.
Aw man, I believe you’re not giving yourself enough credit, but I’ll respect it. Thanks again!
I’ll keep an eye on it. Maybe I’ll figure it out. But often it’s better to do things in my style rather than to poorly imitate RJ.
Will you attempt to move closer to RJ’s descriptive style in A Memory of Light ? You were close in The Gathering Storm , but departed from that in Towers of Midnight .
I’m afraid I knew from the beginning that I couldn’t imitate RJ’s style. I try in some ways, but I am not him.
I will write the book the best way I know how, but will not be trying to imitate RJ. I WILL strive for character voice accuracy.
Well, the descriptive style is a central feature of WoT. I don’t think being more descriptive would constitute imitation.
I’m asking because your narrative style was much closer to RJ in The Gathering Storm . I was surprised to see you move away from that in Towers of Midnight .
Oh, I see. You don’t mean “Describe in the way RJ did.” You mean “Please describe more.”
Do you take notes, besides twittering, during #wotrr?
Many.
Can you put all of your notes online somewhere? Come on, that’s easy…right?
Lol. Those would have so many spoilers in them it would cause several people’s heads to explode.
