Hmm, predictions... let's see.

It is! I am excited to see where Brandon took the books. I would say the slog was books 8 to 10, but that's arbitrary. Robert Jordan didn't exactly wrote Dan Brown-style thrillers, haha.

Will of the Many is fantastic! I think you'll not regret reading it.

I'm a hundred pages away from being done with the eleventh! and I finished the Red Rising and started the Golden Son too. I feel the writing is much better in the second book and I enjoy it much more now.

I think I write a little like Robert Jordan. Not the pacing, but the sentence structure. It's what happens when you read 14-book series. The Cosmere is longer, so... I structure stories like Brandon. There's certainly always a Sanderlanche in the end. -

Haha. Sounds familiar. But I think we all start out by emulating our idols. It's not a terrible thing to do until you develop you own style -

Narrow Road is an expansion of the Lightning tree. It's exactly the same story, but a little padded up and better edited. I love the series, BTW! One of my favourites. I read both Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. It's... OK, I guess. One of those series that are everywhere on BookTook for a while and then dissappear. Reading Red Rising by Pierce Brown at the moment. Not sure if I love it yet, but I might. Anyone read the entire series?

Hey, guys, I just want to share something I've recently found. There is a website called Reedsy that holds weekly short-story competitions (1-3k words), where they release a prompt and let people from all over the world take a stab at it. You can submit your story for free if you just want it to be posted on the website or pay $5 to enter the contest. I found it to be super helpful for inspiration, because for each new prompt there are 300+ short stories to read each week. Also, it's a safe way to experiment with a topic, take a break from a larger project when you are stuck and just write something different and new. If you are curious, here is the link (I'm not in any way affiliated with the website, but I did submit two stories there and really enjoyed the experience). Hope you'll find it helpful! -
