Wander89 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 27 minutes ago, robardin said: I always wonder what a 1% status bar might indicate for a writer like Brandon. It could be anywhere from "the book will be 1200 pages and I've now fleshed out the 12 page prologue, so, 1%", or it could be a non-empty file with just Stormlight Archive 4: "TITLE???" by Brandon Sanderson, (c) 2019 in the upper left, like so many of my own papers/stories would remain for days or weeks on end back in school. ("Hey, it's more than 0, so I guess it's 1% done!") Could be, yeah. Is it based on word count or just overall completion? We may never know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of the page count theory, especially as Brandon gave a reading (linked earlier in this tread) and he ended off by saying that the rest of the chapter is a real mess. So assuming about 1200 pages for book 4, I think we're up to 24 pages done! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzastrology Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Brandon talks about word count a lot (a lottt) in this context, enough that I generally assume his percents are out of the total projected word count for the finished product. Dunno if I'm necessarily right, but it makes an amount of sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 My theory is that it is the amount of his projected outline that he has turned into actual draft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some consideration, I’ve changed my mind to Arc 1: Kaladin, Adolin, Shallan, Szeth Arc 2: Venli, Rlain, Eshonai as flashback Arc 3: Jasnah, and someone else.
