Interview #36: Twitter 2011 (WoT), Entry #96

Brandon Sanderson (20 January 2011)

Grolm make me think of the plush grolm Baby Meatloaf has. (It was a hand-made gift. There’s a pic on my twitter feed somewhere.)

BRANDON SANDERSON

Ah, nice. @Terez27 dug up that picture I posted of Baby Meatloaf w/his stuffed grolm . Aubree [Pham] was the one who gave it to him, I think.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Here he is: http://twitpic.com/1hvhsi Man, he had curly hair back then.

BRANDON SANDERSON

No, Rand. Lady Selene isn’t suspicious AT ALL.

MIKE RENTAS

Did RJ ever explain her trick? I know she enhances her appearance, but is there an element of light Compulsion to it?

BRANDON SANDERSON

As far as I know, she didn’t use Compulsion.

JOSH ROBERTS

Memory’s vague on this but why doesn’t Lews Therin recognize Selene? Mirror of mists? Lews Therin not aware yet?

BRANDON SANDERSON

So far as I know, Lews Therin wasn’t ‘aware’ yet. At least, not enough for something like that.

BRANDON SANDERSON (21 JANUARY)

Lots of responses Re: Rand and Lady Selene. Let me say this. Yes, Rand is being a wool-headed fool. But I remember being that young.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I remember when I realized the prettiest girl I knew was also a huge jerk. It was a stunning revelation. Yet it took two years to make.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Rand is not the first teenage boy to have trouble seeing the obvious in a situation like this. In fact, it would be odd otherwise.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Egwene to Elayne on their first meeting in the White Tower, right before meeting Min: “Rand seems to meet a lot of girls.” Yup.

BRANDON SANDERSON

First Min viewpoint is at the halfway mark to The Great Hunt . I’m always amazed by how many viewpoints we get before Mat gets one.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I have to look back a long time, back almost twenty years, to remember that originally, I saw Mat as a side character—and this is why.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I’ve always felt that Thom should be more surprised, excited, or…something to see Rand again here in The Great Hunt when they meet.
