<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22003950412636160'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Happy New Year, all. It is official—I have begun working on A Memory of Light, 14th and final book of the Wheel of Time.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22004713016786944'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 I have updated the progress bars on my website with this year's tasks. I'll try to be better about keeping them current.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22011643806351360'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 The first step is to re-read the entire Wheel of Time. TofM had some small continuity errors—mostly me forgetting who knows what.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22011799251451905'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 We fixed them for the paperback, but it is a sign that I'm starting to forget details. That means I need to re-read Mr. Jordan's work.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22016101227433984'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 By the way, I did get a Nook for my birthday. So I'm in the process of getting ecopies of the WoT uploaded.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22017227377090560'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Since people are asking, the continuity errors were things like Grady telling Perrin about the Cleansing as if for the first time, but…

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22017426426171392'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 …there's a line in KoD where Perrin notes that they'd mentioned it to him. We don't see the conversation, but it's there in narrative.

"He died in book 5." "oh"

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22017696031838208'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @AJZaethe The thing is, I had eight of those for TofM. They all missed these too. It was the time crunch that did it to us, I think. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22017759000920064'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @bepeacock Yes, it should be all fixed for the ebook. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22021924657831936'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Yes, I will be live tweeting/blogging my re-read. Should have some fun things to post about the WoT as I go.

<img src='http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/292299332/zinger_normal.jpg' /><a href='http://twitter.com/C3Zinger/status/22024051199315968'>C3Zinger</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson also the fact that min's veiwings aren't always around aes sedai when they are supposed to be

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22025516924014592'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @C3Zinger I'm working on the assumption (as she's said before) that she doesn't always pay attention to them, as there's so many of them. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22025838736179200'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Some are asking if my tweets/blogs will have spoilers for WoT books. I'll try to keep those to a minimum. But there will be some.

Sorry. unless it's some kind of kendil that doesnt' work for people like me.

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22026007162654720'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @verinSedai It's one of the ereaders on the market, the one made by B&N. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22028786652422144'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Man, I love the EotW prologue. Some of my favorite writing in the entire series. Great insight into Ishy's personality pre-madness.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22029268426956800'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 People like to talk of Rand's character development. Elan-> Ishy -> Moridin is almost as interesting to me. His outlook has evolved so much.

<img src='http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1148350245/cd95a131-7e38-4db3-aa2c-9593f1a8707d_normal.png' /><a href='http://twitter.com/Skavoovee/status/22026681397026816'>Skavoovee</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson a little off topic, but do you have a general release date for Alloy of Law?

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22029631985029120'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @Skavoovee No date yet. Fall sometime. I'd guess September, personally. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22036178098196480'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 The first wind is in the Mountains of Mist; I've always assumed this was a nod to Tolkien's Misty Mountains. (more.)

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22036356624551936'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Look in The Way of Kings on the full map of Roshar for something similar.

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22065611597156352'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @Terez27 Yup, that's it. I'll tell you, I had to stretch a little to find one that sounded right but still had mist in it. </blockquote></blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22036582714314752'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @davidalpert I will. Right now, I don't know that anything more can be done. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22036691615219712'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @GM_M_Moore My thanks to you as well. </blockquote>

<img src='http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1190007668/lfqBH_normal.jpg' /><a href='http://twitter.com/NightOwl4Music/status/22034406071861248'>NightOwl4Music</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson I figured that Moridin was the reincarnated Ishmael. Still wish I knew who killed Asmodean.

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22036761769148416'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @NightOwl4Music It's in Towers of Midnight. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22039689976348672'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Reading this book, I'm reminded of how deeply Dragonsteel (one of my foundational, yet, unpublished works) was influenced by the WoT's start

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040034286764034'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Actually, of the three fantasy epics I wrote during my early years—Dragonsteel, Elantris, & White Sand—Elantris was the least wot-like.

<img src='http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/376451367/mrb2_normal.jpg' /><a href='http://twitter.com/DoctorD71/status/22039570409324546'>DoctorD71</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson Never did figure out what it is exactly that killed Lews Therin in the prologue. Thoughts after reread?

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040142504001536'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @DoctorD71 It's a toss up between getting consumed by holding too much power and getting struck by that bolt of energy from the sky. </blockquote>

<img src='http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/1172748826/image_normal.jpg' /><a href='http://twitter.com/daphil01/status/22039394701541376'>daphil01</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson Elan? Where is that reference? Ishmael's pre-chosen name?

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040202277027840'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @daphil01 Yeah. In the prologue, it's what he's called. </blockquote>

<img src='http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/192797596/38791.36704_normal.jpg' /><a href='http://twitter.com/dragonmount/status/22037696142639104'>dragonmount</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson How would you compare Ishy's motivations from when he was Elan vs when he was Moridin? -JD

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040423891476480'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @dragonmount Elan actually more selfish. He still thinks he will rule, that the DO will take over the world and create a new one. <a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040602807894017'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @dragonmount Moridin has been through madness and touched the mind of the DO. He is far more fatalistic, and actually less selfish. </blockquote>

(FYI: the Charleston area is defined by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers.)

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040753224024064'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @SheckyX Nice note. I'd never known that. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22040987345883136'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @evanchooly No, he's really changed a lot. He's a fatalist now, as I mentioned to @dragonmount. He knows far more. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22041049396412416'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @MikeLuoma Hope you enjoy it. </blockquote>

Would make it easier for fans to follow and participate.

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22041162151895040'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @Theoryland Yeah, but I always forget to put in the hashtags… </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22041435633094656'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @SPAZinOL It takes a little longer to get going than my other books. This is by intention, but you should probably be warned. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22044325193981952'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Reading the start of EOTW reminds me that there's an extra person in the cover art. (More obvious in the secondary, inside piece, I think.)

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22045173202558976'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 HCFFs already know who that person is, but it's a fun easter egg to know that there's a story behind that extra figure.

Book 1 seems heavily influenced by Tolkien so far. #ImANewbie

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22045530888601600'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @lynnoliverfhmg Yes, book one is very Tolkien influenced. Very. Book two less so. It's almost gone by book three. </blockquote>

<img src='http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/1119668231/Picture_2_normal.png' /><a href='http://twitter.com/Terez27/status/22041755809484800'>Terez27</a> Mon Jan 03 @BrandonSandrson Elantris in a way reminded me of King's Eyes of the Dragon, with the fairy tale -like writing style.

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22045752607899648'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @Terez27 I love Eyes of the Dragon. Might be an unconscious influence. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22045987925131264'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @Terez27 What do you mean specifically. Lying about what? </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22046106376478720'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @Phidias516 Dragonsteel will someday be rewritten and released. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22046457091596288'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @daphil01 We were experimenting with different audiobook companies with that one. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22046859828662272'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 @amysuefarmer I like reading New Spring when it was released. Feels better to me there. </blockquote>

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22047050354925568'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Mr. Jordan wrote a large chunk of EotW with a fourth Two Rivers lad going along with Perrin, Mat, and Rand. Was to be a major character.

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22047626132197376'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 Harriet talked him out of it, pointing out that the 4th lad never did anything useful. @theoryland, do you guys have a good thread on him?

<a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22049996874448896'>BrandonSandrson</a> Mon Jan 03 By the way, HCFF stands for "Hard Core Fan Freak" for those asking. They're self named. It's what many uber-wot-geeks call themselves.

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22127886882308097'>BrandonSandrson</a> Tue Jan 04 @feelieking I've already written some, but I haven't made a big deal of it. Alloy of Law has a lesbian woman, for example. </blockquote>

Its not obvious. #wotrr

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22128246661320705'>BrandonSandrson</a> Tue Jan 04 @FelixPax @Terez27 @dragonmount I vote for a "Denz" for Jason and a "Jenn" for Jenn. Longer, yes, but easier to notice. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22128958799613953'>BrandonSandrson</a> Tue Jan 04 @feelieking There's a gay man in Bridge Four, too. He hasn't had a big role yet. Drehy. </blockquote>

The word is sparse. :|

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22129314229125120'>BrandonSandrson</a> Tue Jan 04 @mikescinto All I've been told is that screenwriters have been chosen, and they're working on a screenplay. </blockquote>

<blockquote><a href='http://twitter.com/BrandonSandrson/status/22129419887837184'>BrandonSandrson</a> Tue Jan 04 @El_MUERkO There are some that Mr. Jordan instructed me not to resolve. </blockquote>
