How did you find the time and energy to work on The Way of Kings while you were immersed in Jordan’s Wheel of Time? Are you a hidden Allomancer, a slider like Wayne in The Alloy of Law , with the ability to set up a mind-boggling speed bubble?
I wish I could magically create bubbles of time to give myself more space to do these things. After working on The Gathering Storm , I felt more and more that I needed to do The Way of Kings —I had done it and failed once, and I began to see all of the places where it went wrong and how I could fix it. When you get excited about a book that way, you kind of have to write it—strike while the iron is hot. It’s something I never want to do again—working on that and Towers of Midnight at the same time just about killed my entire family. The hours were very long, and I’m still kind of recovering from that. How did I find the time? I didn’t do much else during that year when I was getting those both ready. I think it was really good for me to do, and I don’t think I’ll ever do something like that again.
