Ixthos Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) In Brandon's recent update video he mentioned that there is an important and unexpected video he's planning to post tomorrow. That sounds ominous. I hope Brandon and his family and friends are okay. [Edit] The video is out: Edited March 1, 2022 by Ixthos 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritochip Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah. My heart dropped a little when I saw it. Hopefully it is just a 'Stormlight will need them be delayed' message and nothing more serious. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is related to his or his family's health, mental or physical or spiritual, that definitely comes first. Hopefully it is just a "my plate is very full and I need to slow down" video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) This is worrying. Did he sound different to anyone else, like something was slightly off? And he looked so tired. I have a bad feeling about this. Edited February 28, 2022 by Frustration 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 AH when does it release? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthos Posted February 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 1 minute ago, Thaidakar the Ghostblood said: AH when does it release? I'm not sure. Brandon's time zone is nine hours behind mine on average I think, so this video announcing the upcoming video came out about an hour ago, at around 09:00 am his time - I assume the second video will come out around the same time, though we'll have to wait and see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathrangking Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I just hope that he and everyone else is alright. He seemed somewhat subdued which is unusual for him. I don't want to borrow trouble and we won't know anything until tomorrow, but I'll admit that it has me worried. Hopefully, its nothing. However, its hard to shake the ominous vibes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he looked so tired. Yeah, he's looked very tired the last few update videos, and has mentioned having to try to find time to revise Skyward 4 somewhere between TLM and draft one of KOTW makes me think it'll be a delay on something. But I'm holding out hope it's something positive, like news about a progressing option on one of the adaptations. 1 hour ago, Thaidakar the Ghostblood said: ok, *strangled breathing* let's hope it isn't Brandon saying he's done with the cosmere. I definitely don't think it'll be that, with how long he's been dreaming about the cosmere and its storylines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus52980 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 When he said it was about his career, my mind went to "Hey, we got a movie deal, so I'll be doing that for a while". I'm with everyone else that I hope you're right about it just being a delay (Since a movie would indeed delay the books) but you're also correct that he did seem down compared to normal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 Taln Fan Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I can’t watch the video right now, am in class, but did it sound like tomorrow’s video was bad news? Or is it just inferred from his tiredness Edited February 28, 2022 by #1 Taln Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't posted in forever, coming back for this. Yeah, Brandon seemed very tired. The video had a very "We need to talk" vibe about it. Really hope Brandon is ok. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah, I just watched the video, storms he looks tired out. I hope Brandon's good, I just hope it isn't anything too bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperstones Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I wonder if he is realizing he can’t do all he needs to do in the Cosmere and that he is going to open the books up to other authors to write. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was already planning on doing co-authorships for smaller novels, I don't think he would ever give anyone else free reign unless he was going to die, but co-authoring is likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowX81 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 On the discord, one of the employees dropped in to say that no one was hurt or sick, but at this was all they would say on the matter. Honestly my guess is that Brandon might have realized that his plans for the cosmere might be a bit too ambitious, so some of the things that have been in the backburner for a few years are either being cancelled or co-authored. Take it from someone who has spent periods of his own life working far too hard and long. When you are in the middle of it, you push through, feel invincible, and are proud of your own work ethic. However the exhaustion catches up to you, and not in a fun way. Honestly I don't know how the guy manages the things he already has on his plate. So if he needs to scale back or even take a break, id say he has more than earned it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixth_of_the_Dusk Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I hope he's okay. Whatever is going on, the way he messaged it reminded me of this line from the 2021 State of the Sanderson: "It’s been a strange year for me, for more than one reason. Eventually perhaps I’ll be able to explain more of why that is." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nesh Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Posted by Brandon on Reddit: Just want to say to everyone, thank you for the kind words and thoughts. You don't need to worry as much as you are doing right now. I am fine. Though this IS related to the stress of the last few years, it isn't something that you need to feel concern for me regarding. Indeed, there are some big silver linings to what I'm going to announce tomorrow. It will make sense then. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's cancellations, my money is on Nightblood and The Aztlanian officially not happening anymore.

Co-authorship announcement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
