I was just up doing Matt Hatch’s Asmodean interview. Because he’s doing a little documentary thing on the whole Asmodean deal. It’s going to be very fun. And we were talking about the time where I actually misstepped and mentioned Asmodean’s killer to him, and then worked it into a conversation by catching myself. It was really funny. I actually flubbed and said it to him, but I said it and then made it into a sentence that didn’t give it away. I did one of those things, because it was after I had written Towers of Midnight and in my head it was already done and out there, but it was still months before it was released. And so, we were having a big conversation about Asmodean’s killer and I said, “Well, such and such. . . .”, and I’m like, crap, what did I just say? And then I worked it into a sentence, so I was really actually proud of myself at the end of that one.

But was it like, “Graendal killed Asmodean . . . . with this incredible joke”?

Brandon Sanderson

No, it wasn’t that bad. But we were having a conversation about the theoretical killer, and I actually said, “Well, Graendal . . .” And then stopped for a second, and I said, “. . . is just a . . . bad choice because of this and this.” If that makes sense. It was something like that. It was something like that, where I’m like, “Well, Graendal . . . is of course the favored choice,” I think is exactly what I said, “but of course there’s also these issues with it,” or something like that. Anyway, I totally . . . I just about ruined it right then.

Terez

He wouldn’t have told anybody.

Brandon Sanderson

No, Matt probably wouldn’t have told anybody. Oh hey, hi! You are here!

Terez

Hi, Brandon. Of course I’m here.

Brandon Sanderson

I haven’t seen you yet.

Terez

That’s because I’ve been avoiding you.

Brandon Sanderson

Oh. Well.

Harriet McDougal Rigney

That explains that.

Terez

I don’t play Magic.
