Interview #45: Twitter: TOM Writing and Editing Process, Entry #61

Brandon Sanderson (2 August 2010)

Onward. Need to get a tweaked draft of Towers of Midnight to Harriet tomorrow. Two weeks left on our deadline to get the final, final draft to Tor.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Going through Towers of Midnight and adding chapter names/icons (both chosen by Harriet) and combining chapters at her direction.

NICK CASSANOVA

With the newly combined chapters, which is the sad chapter that you had said was number 60?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Don’t know yet. I have to check with Harriet on a few more combinations before I will have a final chapter total.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Today’s task: Going through Towers of Midnight and giving italics/cap letters to in world terms. (And taking away caps from others that I got wrong.)

PETER AHLSTROM

Ditto. (Re-tweet)

BRANDON SANDERSON

Working on epigraphs for Towers of Midnight right now.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Q: Now that the chapters have been changed around, what is the new number of chapter 81? (The one you said was one of your favorite?)

BRANDON SANDERSON

A: That is now chapter 50. It should remain there.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Good question: @graphicbin_sean asks “Who chooses the scenes for the cover art for WoT? How about Towers of Midnight ?”

BRANDON SANDERSON

A: Harriet usually picks. I picked the scenes for Towers of Midnight and A Memory of Light , though, as we had to get them painted before Harriet read the books.

SHIVAM BHATT

Who writes the [glossary] entries at the back of every WoT book?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Maria does those.
