How did your experiences differ when writing Elantris as compared to writing Mistborn?
Elantris was my 6th novel. By the time I wrote Mistborn, my 13th, I’d figured out some things about writing and my own style that made me more effective. At least I’d like to think so! I wrote Elantris as a standalone, and I knew I wanted to make Mistborn the first of a trilogy. Even though I borrowed some ideas from my own earlier works, Mistborn was a more complex story and took more planning. I’d never written a trilogy before, so it was a little difficult to figure out how to wrap up the story in the first book, while still setting things up for the other two.
