Interview #709: CNN Interview, Entry #7

Robert Jordan

The payoffs of hard work

At a recent book-signing event, Jordan was gracious and accommodating with an estimated 300 fans who formed an orderly, expectant line that stretched around and outside of an Atlanta, Georgia, bookstore. Signing his chosen name and underscoring twice with a bold flourish on book after book, he thoughtfully considered questions and talked freely about his inspiration and writing process—lthings he has doubtless repeated at countless such appearances.

“I work eight hours a day, six and sometimes seven days a week,” he said. “In the past six months, it was 12, 14 hours a day. I tried to take half a day off a month, but I generally did not.”

For Jordan, such work is definitely paying off.
