Popular Post Oversleep Posted June 15, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Here we go folks: I've made that topic six minutes after Brandon posted the update at reddit. Some say it's coincidence, some say it's fate, some try to spike me for Feruchemical chromium, I say I'm a bit fanatical at checking Brandon's reddit account.

kari-no-sugata Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 If I remember correctly, when Brandon does a final draft where he aims to trim the text he normally aims for about 10%. So that probably means roughly 2.5% deleted scenes. Sounds tiny but in this case that means 10-12k words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammanas Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Its only been within the last year and a half or so that I have been following Brandon's progress and have a quick question regarding that. Would it be unrealistic (based on Brandon's usual writing speed) to hope that by the end of the year he will be on later drafts of the Apocalypse Guard and a first Draft of The Lost Metal by the end of the year? I know these books are shorter and easier for him to write than SA. Would a eventual April release for The Lost Metal be unrealistic?

Vissy Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not necessarily. He might have already done some preliminary brainstorming for those books. That being said, I do think Lost Metal will get released next fall, with maybe a smaller in-betweener during the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner he/him Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Reckoners 2 was 8 months after WoR. Shadows of Self was 18 months after WoR (although he did write BoM at the same time). Apocalypse Guard by April 2018 would be fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxal she/her Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Great update. I was pleased to learn he didn't cut anything substantial, just a few scenes here and there as well as rogue sentences. I had worried for a while he had removed large chunks of it. So all in all, great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondoe Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Reckoner Books were around 125k each? So assuming 60 or so writing days for Apocalypse Guard? 3 or 4 months to write once he gets started? So finished around December with touring for Oathbringer? Would think fall 18 for Apocalypse then spring 19 for Mistborn 7. Of course he could throw a wrench and write Rithmatist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm having memories of waiting for the later Harry Potter books to arrive. Crazy times. I think in July 2005 (before HBP came out) I joined an on-line support group for people who just couldn't wait for their milk to expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Awesome news! I look forward to following the progress bar on Apocalypse Guard now. And of course to november (the last two months of the year will be awesome: Oathbringer, Thor 3, Last Jedi and Battlefront). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBossanova Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 On the basis of that word count, and the word count and pages in Way of Kings, I estimate Oathbringer will be about 1164 pages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sound great! I don't know if it's just me but ever since I started reading Brandon Sanderson and everything else is really kind of been subpar compared to his books. I wish the book was 2164 pages at least we'll take me awhile to read it I can never get through books quick anymore because of my kids. So this should give me a good month of reading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Reddit comments: Quote [–]Retsam19 88 points 6 days ago* It's the forwards and backwards five-part poem that makes the section titles for book parts. Like from Way of Kings: Above silence, the illuminating storms—dying storms—illuminate the silence above. [–]The_Vikachu 40 points 6 days ago Just going to add some other keteks, because I have the wiki page open (should have realized someone in the comments would have explained what it was). “Radiant / of birthplace / the announcer comes / to come announce / the birthplace of Radiants. ” —A ketek by Allahn “Alight, winds approach deadly approaching winds alight. ” —A ketek by Navani Kholin describing the meeting of the Everstorm with a highstorm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
