Interview #579: BookBanter Interview, Entry #4

Alex C. Telander

It’s been two years since our last interview. At that time, you’d just released Hero of Ages and The Way of Kings and Wheel of Time books were in their early stages. What would you say has changed most in your life in the last two years?

Brandon Sanderson

What has changed most in my life? Professionally? Because in the last two years I’ve had a child, which change has been quite a bit. I would say I’m more comfortable and relaxed with how things are now. 2007 and 2008 were pretty nerve-wracking years, and 2009 in particular, when I wasn’t sure how people were going to respond to my work. And so I think I’m more comfortable now. The last two years have also been extremely busy, and so they kind of passed in a blur. Yeah, Harriet’s smiling, because she was in that blur, too.

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, it kind of turns when I hand it off to her and then she has to work furiously, and then she hands it back and then I have to work furiously.

Alex C. Telander

And then, two years have passed.

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, then two years have passed.
