We know that Robert Jordan left extensive notes, as well as some audio tapes and actual written parts for this novel. We know your intent is to tell his story. Having seen the outline, how much of the actual plot (the plot points, character arcs, intrigue, etc) do you think you’ll have to come up with on your own?
I honestly don’t know yet. (As mentioned above.) I think we should probably do another interview about this in the coming months, as I will have a better idea.
However, know that I intend to use EVERY BIT of actual written text from Mr. Jordan, and in intend to follow those outlines as exactly as possible. I’ve been told that there is a substantial amount that I will have to come up with, but I will always have a guide—if only a few lines or dictated explanations.
And, as I understand it, the notes about the ending are very detailed—I think the last chapter may even have been written in full. If that’s the case, then I’ll be very happy. I would much rather be the guy who writes the middle fifty chapters of this book than have to be the one who writes the last five.
