And lo, 1% of A Memory of Light done, as per my website progress bar. My reading’s been slow this last month, but I made up for it by working on a scene.

For those asking: Yes, I write in courier. I apprenticed as a writer during an era where it was still the standard among the old guard.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I also underline instead of italicize, use “–” instead of an emdash, and have habits relating to other old-school typesetting artifacts.

TROLLOC TALK

Will you hold a new charity contest for A Memory of Light , but this time for Trolloc/Dreadlord/Darkfriend names? We think you should.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I WILL hold a new contest like that. Likely to help fund Jordancon.

BRANDON SANDERSON (14 MARCH)

People are asking about the files in the picture I posted on Saturday. The one that says “Alan Outline NEW” references Alan, RJ’s assistant.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Alan is a member of “Team Jordan” and was the one who compiled the original outline for A Memory of Light using all of the files and scenes RJ had.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I have taken it and changed things around a lot, added to it, and it has evolved over the years. But it is the Memory of Light outline.
