PROJECT TWO: ALCATRAZ FOUR
I committed to Scholastic for four books, and I will need to (sometime) think about writing the final volume. Book Three is turned in and coming out this fall. Usually, I write these two years ahead. So I turned in Book Three in fall of 2007, then didn’t turn one in Fall of 2008, since I was working so hard on A Memory of Light . But I hate not doing what I say I’ll do, and I will need to write this book sometime. Scholastic probably won’t start bugging me about it until July or August. But it will have to be turned in by the end of the year or I’ll be in breach of contract.
So just a warning to all of you WoT fans out there—I’m sorry, I’ve put Alcatraz off for much longer than I should. You’ll see me take a break this fall for a month or so and work on the final Alcatraz book. My goal is to be writing this in September/October when(hopefully) I will have a rough draft done of Shifting Winds . That way, I can work on new Alcatraz material while using the other half of my brain for editing on WoT. This shouldn’t be a problem at all. Normally, I’m working on two books at once—I’ll be writing new material on one, then will be editing another. Writing and editing take different types of attention, and I can usually only write new material for four to six hours a day. I can use the other hours for revisions on another book.
