Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 02 Yes, "mistborn" on reddit is me. I can't respond to everyone, but--like on twitter and Facebook--I should be able to reply once in a while.

meet_the_joel_normal.gifjoelcorriveau Thu Dec 02@BrandonSandrson "A Making" got me choked up. As a 20-something, spinning my wheels, testing/resisting my destiny. #ToM has been hearty.

Thu Dec 02 @joelcorriveau Thank you.

Logo_mark_1_square_resize__twitter__normal.jpg17thshard Wed Dec 01@PeterAhlstrom @BrandonSandrson Has the title of Scribbler been changed to "The Rithmatist"?

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 02 @17thshard Yes, it has.

about_sword_normal.jpgKimFalconer Wed Dec 01@specficdb @brandonsandrson I found him on Kindle. Which do I start with?

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 02 @KimFalconer Depends. Elantris and Warbreaker are stand-alones. Mistborn (aka The Final Empire) is first of a trilogy.

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 02 @KimFalconer Elantris = more thoughtful. Warbreaker = more humor. Mistborn = more action/epic. But all three have some of everything.

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 02 @KimFalconer And The Way of Kings is Mega Epic. Mistborn or Elantris is where I usually suggest starting.

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 02 @Mnm_010 Yes, eventually. It's far away, though.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 02 Okay, the best transition in the history of webcomics is right here between this page and the next: http://bit.ly/hWYP5J

Thu Dec 02@BrandonSandrson Holy crap, Brandon Sanderson reads Dr. Mcninja?

Thu Dec 02 @Nygmus My favorite comic. I went far out of my way at NYCC to go find the author and shake his hand, then buy a few books.
:D

altf4logo_normal.pngdepricated Thu Dec 02@BrandonSandrson maybe a silly question - new Mistborn : is it an earlier time in the Final Empire, or after the events of the first 3?

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 02 @depricated Several centuries later.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 02 There are only 12 of the Mistborn Holiday Bundles left. http://brandonsanderson.com/store/item/42/

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 My father's company sent him a Nook for Christmas. Dad is out of town for a few weeks. (Glances both directions.) Yoink!

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 I've wanted to play with an ereader for a while now. Can't decide between Nook/Kindle/Sony. Maybe this will help me decide.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 People keep mentioning ipad. It's an option, but I really like the idea of eink and the really long battery life.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 I like the Kindle/Nook auto-store thingy. I prefer a keyboard, which is a plus for the Kindle. But I like B&N as a company more than Amazon.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 First book bought on my dad's Nook: Wee Free Men by Terry Prachett. Wife is reading it right now while I work.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 Holy ATIUM, Batman. Am looking through mail that came while I was in Idaho for the holiday. Somebody sent me a very nice box of Magic cards.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 There's no name saying who it was from, though. Which of you do I thank? Is this a Koloss Head Munching Day present?

jm1_normal.jpgawfulagent Fri Dec 03@BrandonSandrson Joshua votes for iPad but if not that a color Nook or a cruzreader.com/ or other gadget with a non-eInk screen

Llama_Face.png

Fri Dec 03 @awfulagent I thought Joshua liked eink. I know he upgraded to an ipad, but didn't he have both a kindle and a nook?

jm1_normal.jpg

Fri Dec 03@BrandonSandrson Joshua had 2 Kindles break, Eddie had a Sony Reader break, & Joshua looks at eInk devices and thinks they all look so 2008.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 Adonalsium.net is giving away 1 Elantris, 1 Warbreaker, and 1 Mistborn paperback box set. Entry deadline December 7th. http://3.ly/8PpS

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 03 Pat Rothfuss is auctioning for charity THE GATHERING STORM signed by me, Harriet, Team Jordan, Tom Doherty & many Tor folks http://3.ly/W3YZ

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Sat Dec 04 ALCATRAZ VERSUS THE SHATTERED LENS is out. Also, Michael Whelan prints of THE WAY OF KINGS cover art are available. http://3.ly/t8kn

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Sat Dec 04 I'll be signing at Dragons & Fairy Tales in Eagle Mountain tomorrow. They'll have copies of Alcatraz 4. http://brandonsanderson.com/events

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Sat Dec 04 Running a little late for my Eagle Mountain signing. Hopefully Dan can keep people entertained.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Mon Dec 06 Tor.com and Goodreads's fantasy book club are (separately) soliciting questions for me. Also, 30% off sale, signings & more http://3.ly/CvY3

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Tue Dec 07 InkWing has a new store design, and they're taking preorders for a Happy Koloss Head Munching Day shirt. http://inkwing.com/

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Wed Dec 08 Back working on some various projects. Threw away everything I wrote yesterday. (Sigh.) It happens. Maybe second try will work.

chrisonabus_normal.jpgstayawesome Wed Dec 08Do I: a) Watch a long @BrandonSandrson interview, ;) Work on my novel draft from #NaNoWriMo or c) Continue reading BLACK PRISM @BrentWeeks

Llama_Face.png

Wed Dec 08 @stayawesome Watch 5 min of the interview to give you a kick start, work on your book, read Black Prism as a reward if you hit a word goal?

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Wed Dec 08 Okay, off to work out and use my father's Nook to read Terry Prachett books while on the machine. Let us see if this works for me.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 09 Michael Whelan sent us The Way of Kings prints to sign. Man, these things are packaged tight. His assistant has great post-office-fu.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 09 Guys, the little sketches Michael did on the bottom of these things are AWESOME. Really. I'll get you a picture. Just a sec.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 09 One of the sketches on the bottom of the Kings prints. Limited edition of 12. http://twitpic.com/3efr3p

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 09 For those asking, prints are on his website: http://bit.ly/i2awaS I'm signing all 12 of the limited edition too. I think he has some left.

default_profile_2_normal.pngpfchristopher Thu Dec 09@BrandonSandrson Do you know which of those is the one I get?

Llama_Face.png

Thu Dec 09 @pfchristopher Do you know your number? I could look. The one I showed was the one I'm getting.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Thu Dec 09 All of the limited edition prints are signed. Denver Paul, yours has a cool picture of a chull. (We asked which # was yours.)

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 10 Just so you know, this auction for charity (Mega-signed TGS copy) still has a few hours left on it: http://bit.ly/fRU9ma

default_profile_1_normal.pngBoethius32 Fri Dec 10@BrandonSandrson Mr. Sanderson, I feel the decision to structure the WoT books the way you did, dividing by plotline instead of chronology significantly degraded the dramatical impact of the story. I also feel this was a slightly disrespectful to RJ's intention for the story. Will you consider restructuring the story in a chronological fashion which is more true to RJ's wishes once all the books are written? I mean, I don't have to remind a professional writer that a novel is more than just the sum of its scenes and chapters. The sequence is just as important. I feel this is where you've failed a bit with TGS and ToM. With all due respect, of course. And I don't want you to reply to me publicly on this. I know you can't second-guess this decision in public. However, I hope you will consider publishing "director's cut" editions of the three books where the scenes occur in a more chronological sequence.

Llama_Face.png

Fri Dec 10 @Boethius32 The thing is, RJ didn't write chronologically himself. He was all over the place. It just wasn't obvious.

Llama_Face.png

Fri Dec 10 @Boethius32 It's just obvious now because people are coming back together. If I did as you asked--which I have considered--there are only

Llama_Face.png

Fri Dec 10 @Boethius32 a couple things I'd change. I'd probably interweave Perrin differently. Everything else would be basically the same.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Fri Dec 10 Final holiday shipping deadline for signed books. http://3.ly/kv7z

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Sat Dec 11 Off to my signing at the Murray Borders! 2-4. Isaac will be there too.

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Mon Dec 13 Need a good book for a Christmas gift? Here's a printable coupon for 40% off any one book at a Borders store tomorrow: http://bit.ly/f3UOtV

Llama_Face.pngBrandonSandrson Mon Dec 13 Holiday gift from my agent, @awfulagent, w/a note saying he wished chocolate was allomantic. http://twitpic.com/3fo7oy

image_normal.jpgstephencanbe Mon Dec 13@BrandonSandrson -- Any hints on where I can pay for/get a copy of the ebook version of mistborn in Australia?

Llama_Face.png

Mon Dec 13 @stephencanbe They will be on ebook very soon. My UK publisher had some trouble with the files, and is working hard to get them out.
