Interview #46: Twitter: AMOL Writing and Editing Process, Entry #29

Brandon Sanderson (1 September 2011)

That’s another “Through Line” on A Memory of Light finished. Now, back to the middle of the book to write forward on another character.

CRAIG FOSTER

So writing A Memory of Light is more like building a giant Dagwood sandwich than it is like baking a birthday cake?

CRAIG FOSTER

…in that you’re taking finished products and making them fit together as opposed to mixing it altogether start to finish…

BRANDON SANDERSON

That’s it.

GARETH BARTON

Question… Do you write each character in one go? The full story for that person, then splice it in with the others?

BRANDON SANDERSON

I often do, if they are in different places. If together, I write them together.
