Interview #46: Twitter: AMOL Writing and Editing Process, Entry #31

Brandon Sanderson (7 September 2011)

Sometimes, it feels like cheating to have Alan and Maria (Robert Jordan’s assistants) to look things up for me on these books.

BRANDON SANDERSON

For example, Alan is a military history buff, and has been my personal “Great Captain” for A Memory of Light , giving valuable advice on tactics.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Finished a really awesome scene today, and started one that turned out meh. I’ll have to rework that one come this evening.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Not counting that scene, but counting the awesome one, A Memory of Light is at 52% done now.

JOHN UNDERWOOD

52%? That’s great! I’m wondering though how did you come up with that number?

JOHN UNDERWOOD

Do you have a specific number of pages in mind to finish the book?

BRANDON SANDERSON

I’ve used 300k words as a rough estimate for each of these books for getting the % bar.
