How does it feel when you have to write a scene for a character that you’ve really come to love where bad things happen to them?
Oh, it can be excruciating. There are some excruciating Rand scenes in this book. Though, you know, the harder scenes to write are the ones where characters, not necessarily terrible things are happening to, but where they’re depressed or muddled, or you know. In a lot of ways, the Rand scenes were painful to write, Gawyn’s scenes were harder to write, because Gawyn is lost. And he doesn’t know. . . he’s struggling through things, and at least Rand is pointed in a direction. Maybe it’s the wrong direction, but he’s pointed in a direction and he’s doing things. Gawyn doesn’t know what he’s doing, and that can be really tough.
