Interview #728: Interview with Brandon Sanderson - A Dribble of Ink, Entry #4

Aidan Moher

What did writing The Gathering Storm teach you that made Towers of Midnight a better book?

Brandon Sanderson

Two things: First, how to juggle a large number of plotlines and viewpoints. (Something I’d failed at in drafts of unpublished books during my earlier years as a writer.) I couldn’t afford not to do this well.

Second, I believe I learned a lot about character viewpoint and narrative. (Most of this came from reading Mr. Jordan’s books with a much more detailed eye than I’d done in recent years.)
