Interview #46: Twitter: AMOL Writing and Editing Process, Entry #19

Brandon Sanderson (1 August 2011)

Moving A Memory of Light ‘s progress bar up 2% to 36%. Expect it to move a tad more slowly this week than last. This patch has less work done on it.

BRANDON SANDERSON (2 AUGUST)

I wonder if it would be too spoilery to post a running count of significant named WoT characters who have died so far in A Memory of Light .

BRANDON SANDERSON

Granted, that count might be 0 so far, so no spoilers yet. I’m just saying… It could be fun to start a count.

BRANDON SANDERSON

(Note, I’m not going to do it. Too spoilery. Just trying to think of things to tweet about the books, as there’s so little I can say.)

BRANDON SANDERSON

How about a non-spoilery Easter egg instead? Each of the three prologues has had at least one complete scene written by RJ before he died.

BRANDON SANDERSON

When I split the books, I split the prologue in a way that at least one of those scenes went into each book.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Prologues were important to RJ, particularly in the later books, and I wanted his stamp to be on each one of the three prologues.

AUSTIN MOORE

The scene with the Borderland towers in Towers of Midnight prologue was all RJ correct?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Yes. I’ve confirmed that before. Good eye, if you spotted it on your own.
