This is awesome news! Is it still Cosmere?

I don't think he said. I very much doubt it though, based on the reading.

Interestingly, the excerpt, as read, would make an excellent short story.

I've only been reading Sanderson for about a year now, but I found this.... https://brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson-2015/..... and it mentions a secret project that he'd been working on for a decade. Is this the same one as now or did it already come out?

He's said that Skyward is not Cosmere.

I think the secret project from 2015 State of the Sanderson was Mistborn: Secret History

He's actually said it was the sixth Alcatraz book.

So what does this mean for the future of the series? Well, two years ago I posted a screenshot of my folder showing all of my books in order. It hid a secret project, scribbled out. People assumed this was Secret History, and I didn’t disabuse them (as I was working on it at the time). But it’s actually Evil Librarians Six, which I’ve done a bunch of work on.

Here’s my SWAG: It’s a Magic The Gathering novella, written for the same reasons that Brandon wrote the Infinity Blade novellas.

This would make me the happiest person. Also, one of my dreams is for WotC to bring on occasional guest creative team consultants, the way they occasionally do with developers (like bringing Richard Garfield back for Dominaria). Brandon would be perfect for the job - he could write a few of the key chapters in the Magic Story, and be part of the creative team that finalizes names and flavor text and gives notes to the artists, just for one set.
