Clockwork Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 When your library gets a new Sanderson book, you find out the day it's coming back, and sit next to its shelf for 6 hours waiting for it. I have done this 3 times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 So today I met someone named Nazh...... Did he try to buy a map? Or try to make a picture of you? Or did he have a coat? How wet was it? She did none of the above. She didn't take particular notice of me, I think. My identity is safe for now. We may be one step ahead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Cosmere confirmed. All of our worst hopes and fears have come true. Ready the sticks for the defense against Odium. It was argued, that the Stick is a splinter of Odium (see the "favorite sanderson villain" topic). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 When you go camping and start talking to a stick and all your buddies worry about you. I only would worry if the stick answered you... with something else than "I am a stick". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theuntaintedchild Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 When you realize that daleks must be of Odium, since they can only hate. LOL! I hadn't actually thought of that yet. Good eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuntaintedchild Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) When you write a multi-page essay on why Mistborn is a classic for your English class Edit: true story. We had to write a persuasive essay on what should be considered a classic after we spent a unit reading Shakespeare, etc. I chose Mistborn and got an A Mistborn will be a classic. Simply for the way it was written. Sanderson had the entire trilogy finished before the first one went out for publication/distribution. It is the most complete trilogy I've ever read. I don't think anyone had attempted something like this before and I sincerely hope that future authors will take note and finish their stories before presenting them to an audience. Sanderson will usher in a new wave of writers, changing the way stories are told from now on. He will become a legend. He was the first. The rest of us merely followers. I started this off as a serious post but realized soon after starting that I was getting a little "occult-y" so I thought "In for a penny, in for a pound" XD Edited May 4, 2016 by theuntaintedchild 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 This is what happens when Brandon Sanderson forgets to dump his work into copperminds. Fixed. But seriously, why did it go from 52% to 51%? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Fixed. But seriously, why did it go from 52% to 51%? May have had something to do with the fact that (I think) he bases those percentages on where he is in the outline. New plot development? Longer outline, ergo not quite as far along as you once were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugsy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 But seriously, why did it go from 52% to 51%? I'm actually pretty happy about that. It either means he's lengthening the book, thickening the plot, or already revising. Any one of those will be a positive later, because they mean the content will increase, quality will improve, or revising speed will increase. If, alternately, he made a continuity error, it's best that he caught it now, instead of later building of it and having to replace it and all of its references later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
