Book timings:
—Four years to write The Eye of the World ; the next five took 14-16 months each.
— A Crown of Swords took 22-23 months to write.
—The Guide to the Wheel of Time took 5-6 months; there was a lot of work he had to do on it that he didn’t expect to need to do. I think he expected a few weeks of work from him directly, with it mostly being done by others.
— New Spring took 2-3 months.
— The Strike At Shayol Ghul was written from the perspective of a scholar trying to attract funding for a more complete version (i.e., grant money) and was his first piece of short fiction.
