Will it be split into two books?
As I’ve always said, this isn’t my call. Harriet and Tom will decide this. My gut instinct says yes, but I don’t know how that process will proceed. I think that the best thing I can do for the Wheel of Time readers is FINISH the book, no matter how long, with as much speed as I can manage while still maintaining the highest of quality. That way, even if the novel gets split, readers can be reassured by the fact that the book IS done and that it is not going to continue on endlessly.
One of my biggest fears is that readers will assume I’m artificially inflating the length of the book in order to keep the Wheel of Time going and bring in more cash. I promise you in all sincerity that this is NOT the case. I’m writing a single book, following the outline where I can, filling in holes where I must. We are not going to keep you juggling forever. I will finish this book as quickly as I can, so that even if the first half is released on its own, you can know that the second half is done and coming soon.
Remember. Robert Jordan DID write the ending himself. I just have to get us there.
