In 1995, I helped arrange a fantasy convention in Stockholm, “East of the Sun,” and one of our author guests of honor was Robert Jordan. A very nice man, I might add. In my interview with him, I asked why he wrote so much (at the time, only the first six books had been published, nota bene).
His response was interesting and enlightening. You need many words to fully tell a story, was his answer, plain and simple. There’s only one reason why authors don’t write five, six, and ten book series: They are lazy. A good story is long, complete, and omits nothing.
In other words, Robert Jordan has absolutely no clue what a good literary text looks like.
