When did you originally decided that you were going to link up all your worlds in this overarching Cosmere? It’s seems like a pretty epic feat to have so much stuff related between all your seemingly different novels, only to tie them together bit by bit. I’ve never heard of an author doing this on a scale quite like yours before. What gave you this idea / inspiration?

Brandon Sanderson

Covered here I think. Let me know if that answers it.

(And yes, it’s a big feat. But, in part, I’d never seen it done before except in an after-the-fact retcon, as King and Asimov both did. Those were cool, but I wanted to try it from the get-go.)
