I’m sorry I don’t have more specific WoT posts for you—I know that Harriet prefers me to be more closed-mouthed. However…
Maria from Team Jordan has finished her revision notes for the entire book, as has Harriet herself. So we’re only waiting on Alan’s notes.
As he’s playing “Great Captain” for me on A Memory of Light , his notes are vital—and he needs to be detailed. When I get them, I can finish revising.
Sooooo…there might be a sooner release date than the current for January?
It is possible, but I don’t know how likely.
Darn, I need to haste to be ready for A Memory of Light once it releases. Is there gonna be a ebook version along with the physical book?
(Winces.) Harriet has a distrust of ebooks; she prefers to delay the release. It is her call. (Ebook is a few months later.)
Do we have chapter names yet? Or do you know how many chapters there will be? Or is that a secret?
No chapter names yet, as it won’t be until this draft is finished that I settle on the number of chapters. Some are being combined.
I’m truly hoping this book is 1/3 battles/fights.
More than 1/3, I’d say…
Forgive me for not understanding, but what does this mean? Release date’s not going to change, is it?
Probably not. It’s just a progress update, so people know things are still moving behind-the-scenes.
How’s The Stormlight Archive coming? I need more.
A Memory of Light comes first. I will get to the next Stormlight book soon, but not until A Memory of Light is done to my satisfaction.
So this means we will be reading the final volume sooner than first announced?
It is possible, but I don’t know how likely. I still need to do two drafts, I feel. Then there are beta reads, then proofreads, then we need at least two months to get the books printed and shipped.
What does it take to be one of the beta readers?
Be one of the major members of fandom for years, and personally know Harriet. (Sorry.)
