Someone asked if Brandon writes the books in a jumping-around fashion or if he writes one character’s story at a time, and then they get spliced together in editing.
Brandon says he does write one character at a time, because you have to try to think like that character and feel like the character. He says to be able to write someone, it’s like uploading all the information about the character, and then using it until you’re done. Then you wipe your hard drive and download the next character. He goes on to say that the editing and splicing is almost entirely Harriet, but when Brandon feels strongly about something, he insists. (Brandon said one such point was at the beginning of Towers of Midnight , a cliffhanger ending to a chapter about Mat…) Harriet took the mic at this point and said that if Brandon puts his foot down, then that’s it, and he gets his way. They laugh.
