Finished another “Through Line” of A Memory of Light . This one turned out really, really well. I’m kind of surprised, honestly.
This is a character I think many readers are less excited about, but the story here is very powerful. I’m pleased.
When can we expect the last book to be released?
Next year sometime. Spring at the earliest (I don’t think it’s likely) fall at the latest.
Nice big jump in the progress bar today as I pull a few things I’d already been working on and place them in the book. 52% -> 56%.
For those curious, I’ve been timing lately and looking at my historical wordcounts (I often keep lists of daily progress.)
Writing a given amount of words on the Wheel of Time takes about twice as long as it does when working on non-WoT books.
I think this is due to: 1) The complexity of working in such a long series. 2) Making sure character voices match those in RJ’s writing.
Which character voice have you found it hardest to duplicate? And has that difficulty stayed consistent for each book?
Mat. Yes, he has always been the toughest.
Love knowing progress but just remembered Tor will likely delay e-release. #frustration
Not Tor, actually. Harriet. I’m working on her, though.
The delay last time was because The New York Times didn’t count ebook sales for bestseller lists.
A lot of people are asking about the release date for A Memory of Light , so I’ll talk about it again. I just couldn’t get it out for this November.
My new rough-draft goal is November, with a revised book sent to Harriet January 1st. Book could be out any time between March (unlikely) and November.
This November? I thought it was always supposed to be released March of next year? Oh well.
I was hoping March. It’s theoretically possible…but Harriet thinks not. She wants more time to edit than she had for Towers of Midnight .
