Interview #46: Twitter: AMOL Writing and Editing Process, Entry #93

Brandon Sanderson (28 July 2012)

Working away at A Memory of Light last draft. 80 pages remaining, and I’ll be done. Probably will finish tonight.

Brandon Sanderson

Last draft is done, folks. From here, we head to copyedits. (And perhaps small tweaks here and there.) Basically, though, A Memory of Light is finished.

Brandon Sanderson

Thanks for the good wishes, all. Final length of the book is around 360k words. Towers of Midnight was 335k, for reference.

Peter Orullian

Congratulations, Brandon. Most cool.

Brandon Sanderson

Thanks! I’ll tell you, I barely know what month it is, let alone what day… This has been a grueling set of revisions.

Eric Pelletier

Do we know if January 8th is the official A Memory of Light release or the date could still change?

Brandon Sanderson

Probably not going to change at this point.

Brandon Sanderson

Out tonight with Emily enjoying a celebratory steak for having finished the Wheel of Time. Five years of work, hard but satisfying.
