Ladies and Gentlemen, I have begun writing the final chapter for Towers of Midnight . Expect an “It’s done” post later today.
And…it is DONE! 359,000 words, 1800 pages in manuscript form. Nobody tell Tor. They asked me to try to keep it shorter. WHOOPS.
Note that I’m mostly joking about the length. Tor does prefer books shorter than 400k, but they’ve always let me write as long as needed.
And, just to warn you all, I WILL do my standard 10% cut on this book. So expect the final length to be around 320k or so. ( The Gathering Storm was 300k.)
Either way, the first draft of Towers of Midnight is done. We are now confirmed for an on-time release late October or early November 2010.
