The Rooster he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Here's an article that hits really close to home right now. The 9 Agonizing Stages Of Waiting For The Next Book In A Series To Come OutIt's pretty accurate. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/27/book-series_n_4859456.html 6
Bloodfalcon he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I have lived the life of each of those gifs. 1
Birdman Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Yes this fits me perfectly. As I have spent the last couple days reading through these forums at work. 1
Luke.spence Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Yes this fits me perfectly. As I have spent the last couple days reading through these forums at work. I sit on my computer all day refreshing GR, reddit, and this forum since if I don't do something, I'll go crazy before March 4th lol.
Morsk he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 This part was basically the Lift Interlude, through now: 6. An excerpt of the next book is released! 7. A release date is set, and time slows down. 8. You begin to strategize.
Zola she/her Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Except I'm convinced that the clock has actually slowed down to the point that it is now going in the wrong direction. 2
Kersplattle Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Groundhog Day ! Tomorrow is today all over again, and WoR is STILL 4 days away, again....ahhhhhhhahahahhhhhhhhh --> exits to funny farm
kkchaitu Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 That was amazing! Thanks for sharing ... I could really use some outlet to avoid think about how long I have to wait, why my amazon preorder is not showing any update on the order etc etc.
Cromptj he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I am literally counting the hours left at this point. For me, it's 6 days 2 hours and 32 minutes as of posting.
Grayv he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 For me it is 4 days, 7 hours, and 25 minutes ish

Crisapx he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Isn't 6. and 7. switched? Usually they only release chapters when the release is nearing. And 9, it isn't read slowly, it's put the book in a blender and drink it up in 1 big gulp! Apart from that, yeah everything in that article is too familiar The worst part about WoR coming out is that we waited so long, only to destroy all that wait in just a few hours that it takes to read it all, and we're right back where we started...
king of nowhere Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The guy who made that post must be another book nerd like us. wanting to fill the space between books is exactly what brought me to forums in the first place. Still, the hard part for me will be that I'm not getting WoR before easter. So starting on march 4 I'll have to read all your excitement knowing I'll still have six weeks to wait, and who knows how many spoilers I will accidentally pick just by reading the thread titles on "most recent topics" in the main page (for example "I'm so sad X died"). That not counting the possibility that I may just give in to temptation and go read the tvtropes page for it when it will come out. If I could set my pc to block my access to this site until I actually got my copy, I'd do it.

Azul he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 ouch! why do you have to wait 6 weeks? I'm pretty sure that is listed under cruel and unusual punishment in the Geneva Convention! 1

That said we are going to work hard to minimize spoilers in topic titles, though for a few that may be tricky. (Caw)
Aminar Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah. Minus the fanfic bits for the most part(I have a freewriting Mistborn fanfic for when Writer's block really sets in.) That said, there is a long period where there is no anticipation for the next book. I'm just starting to hit Skin Game Hype. The plotting though. That is very very real. About 20% of my wish to be an author is so I can get ARC's to blurb.
king of nowhere Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 ouch! why do you have to wait 6 weeks? I'm pretty sure that is listed under cruel and unusual punishment in the Geneva Convention! I work abroad. my brother is a sanderfan too. we preordered the book, but they will go to my family home (my brother want to read it as much as me, and he complains that they may get damaged in the plane trip if I get them and then bring them back with me) and I won't get to read them until I go home for my easter holiday. I considered ordering another copy of the book for me, but with expedition cost it will be quite a lot, and with expedition time it won't arrive to me much sooner than easter anyway. Now, if I were to actually find a copy of WoR on the local booksteres here, I may even consider buying it just to not wait, but I feel it would be quite silly to own two copies of the same book. You can collapse that sidebar block and the forum will remember to keep it collapsed for you. That said we are going to work hard to minimize spoilers in topic titles, though for a few that may be tricky. Thank you, I never knew I could do that. Now I feel more ready to resist the spoler temptations
laeelin Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) The worse part is that people look at you like your crazy for counting down to the day a book is released... I'm lucky, my wife understands and my son is counting down with me. It's just a shame that no one else I know really understands.. Edited February 28, 2014 by laeelin 1

laeelin Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Perhaps I should have said that she is understanding... (she still thinks I'm insane) 1
Luke.spence Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Perhaps I should have said that she is understanding... (she still thinks I'm insane) Ah, I see. Unfortunately my wife suffers from chronic self control, so she doesn't have this problem and thus is not understanding.
