Do you write the scenes in order?
For very large epic fantasies, such as Towers of Midnight and The Way of Kings , I actually approach it by viewpoint grouping, meaning I take all the characters who are together in the same location, or who are kind of together emotionally or things like that, and I will write them straight through until they run into people from other sequences. At that point, I’ll usually stop and do the next one straight through, or I’ll just skip those chapters and go on, depending on what’s going on. I do it by group, and the reason for that is: juggling all of these characters in your head, and making sure I’m keeping every character true to themselves, it’s kind of like I have to upload a bunch of stuff into my brain, and then wipe it clean and upload a bunch of other stuff for another sequence. So for instance, for this book, Perrin and Faile and everyone around them would have been written straight through, and then I jumped back and would’ve done Mat, and so forth.
