Interview #45: Twitter: TOM Writing and Editing Process, Entry #41

Brandon Sanderson (9 July 2010)

10% cut from the next chapter; last for the night. Need some sleep.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Angry email today from someone telling me to stop ‘whining’ about Towers of Midnight ‘s length. Not whining, dude, just trying to push myself hard to edit.

BRANDON SANDERSON

The goal of this revision is to cut, not to add. I’ll do either one to help the book, but I set goals for myself and try hard to meet them.

BRANDON SANDERSON

The final book will be the length it must be. But during this edit, my mindset HAS to be “Cut” or I’ll get lazy and let bad language slide.
