Sorry, another WOT question:
How much brainstorming did you do to simplify the plot? What was the process like? Robert Jordan wrote himself into a hole…
Once I got the project, I spent about six months building an outline. Mr. Jordan didn’t outline extensively. Like GRRM and Stephen King, Robert Jordan was much a ‘discover it as I go’ type writer. He did have the endings for many of the characters in the notes, however, so you’d be surprised. He wasn’t in as much a hole as you might have thought; mostly, it was the side characters who needed direction and a few of the mains needed bridging sequences to where he wanted them to be at the end.
