+eojsmada Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Amazing stuff from his blog today. 19 projects, not including media-related projects, forecast for the months and years ahead. What are you guys most looking forward to from all of the future projects? Aside from more Stormlight Archive, the Hoid origin story, and the "Sixth of Dark", I am interested to see what the "White Sand" trilogy is about. http://www.brandonsanderson.com/blog/1186/State-of-the-Sanderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstRainbowRose Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Effing White Sand man!!! This is by far the thing I'm looking forward to getting movement on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yados Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) You can actually email Brandon and get the first White Sand book. If he's not busy. It's pretty alright. Rough by his current standards. Lots of sand. White sand. Also: Could "Sixth of Dusk" be that psychic bird thing? I didn't know it was Cosmere when they brainstormed it.

Shardlet Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 My spidey sense would be surprised if she doesn't already have it. I think she likes it and wants to see more and to talk about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaa Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 So, two Cosmere stories this year. For me, that makes up for the WoR delay. Can't wait! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pechvarry Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I blame ALL OF YOU (shouting intentional). I'm so fully invested (or maybe Invested?) in the Cosmere that I actually feel perturbed to find out he's prioritizing non-Cosmere content. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I bet there is some crazy money in getting your YA dystopian superhero trilogy turned into a movie after Hunger Games and Avengers. Can't blame the man for prioritizing it if his publishers think he has the next big thing. It's not like we're going anywhere. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think I just lost points of Steelheart approval: "it's just avengers but the main characters are teenagers in the hunger games universe." That's like... Exactly what Hollywood should be looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of nowhere Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I am always awed at the crazy amount of writing Sanderson can do. Really, he relaxes from writing by writing other books. It's like after runniong I rested by running in a different direction. II don't know how he manages it, and especially how he manages to write so much and so good, when one would expect that more production meant less quality. I'm glad to see all hose new books I will be able to read in a few years, but I'm sad for the mistborn movie.I really would have liked to see the scenery and the fights in a movie - that's what movies are for! - but it's probably not going to be produced. The movie industry must totally ingore the concept of "adult fantasy" or "modern fantasy". I guess they refused to produce it when they learned it was to be a fantasy without any elf or dwarf. Oh, steelheart would probably be awesome too (i only read the prologue, how do peoplee mention it like they already read it all when it won't be publkished before september?), but just not the same thing. Also, it probably will eventually go nowhere, just like mistborn or the wheel of time movies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanist Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Am I the only one who misses the second Mistborn trilogy from the list? Due to the previous plan it should be published after Stormlight 5. Yes, It is still faaar away, but the list deals also with books that are definitely future projects (Liar of the Partinel, White Sand, etc) Edited July 26, 2013 by Arcanist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windborne Sword Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Am I the only one who misses the second Mistborn trilogy from the list? Due to the previous plan it should be published after Stormlight 5. Yes, It is still faaar away, but the list deals also with books that are definitely future projects (Liar of the Partinel, White Sand, etc) Like you said it's been planned for after book 5 of SA. I wouldn't expect that to have changed really. Remember that Brandon likes to go back and forth between his different series so as not to burn himself out writing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 No worries, that's still the plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGhandalf Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well, even given the prioritizing of non-Cosmere stuff, it looks like we'll be getting a solid variety of Cosmere material in the future. Looks like Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell, Sixth of the Dusk, Words of Radiance, Shadows of Self, Stormlight 3, and Elantris 2 are all in the pipe for the next couple of years, and Silence Divine, White Sand, Nightblood, the second Mistborn trilogy, Skyward, and of course further Stormlight novels are also planned for farther out. Looks like a pretty cool variety, here, and I'm not sure whether to be more exited about new worlds or sequels! Is this the first anyone's heard of Skyward, by the way (sounds like it's YA, but it's still Cosmere so I'll be checking it out when it does happen). Cool stuff all around, and best of luck to Brandon in getting it all off the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pechvarry Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah 2 cosmere novellas this year and a 1k tome early next year. That's pretty good. I'd like shadows of self to come out before Q4 next year though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Am I the only one who misses the second Mistborn trilogy from the list? Due to the previous plan it should be published after Stormlight 5. Would it be a bit more accurate to start calling it the third Mistborn trilogy, since Alloy of Law got promoted from stand-alone to the start of its own trilogy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Meh, we don't know that there will be a sequel to Shadows of Self. The second trilogy has always meant the modern day tech one, so starting to call it the third trilogy would really confuse the heck out people, myself included. It's just easier to call Alloy and Shadows by their series title, The Mistborn Adventures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, I don't really see the Wax/Wayne books as a series so much as a few standalones that happen to be tied together.

Pechvarry Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I just always refer to Alloy et al as "The Wax and Wayne series" so I've never thought about it as a trilogy or anything in my mind. I believe the idea is that he'll write about Wax's adventures until he doesn't feel like writing about Wax's adventures anymore. Very serialized. And you can't spell serialize without seri...e... yeah it's a series in my mind, ok? I still think his "write as I think of more" approach would make it a great graphic novel.

Windrunner Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 It's set in the second century of the Lord Ruler's reign, following a Mistborn nobleman called Fendin "Fiddle" Fathvell. There's a bit more info here. If I'm remembering right, Brandon's seeing it as a sort of RPG. I want to say Assassin's Creed like, but that could just be my brain being crazy. I think it will be for PC. The official website is here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
