king of nowhere Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 the advancement bars on his site are all 100%. He says he's going to start working on SA 4 next year. Anyone knows what he's planning to do in the meanwhile? notice, it may also be tropical vacation, given how much money he must have made it's a surprise he doesn't take more of those... i'm just curious
+Invocation Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Probably a minor vacation, plus The Lost Metal, Skyward's sequel (I think it's going to be called Starfall) if he's not done with that yet, maybe even the Threnody novel that's been teased over and over.
Argent he/him Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Skyward 2 (current title Starsight) should be just about done. I don't think he has started on Skyward 3, and Secret Project is also pretty much done. He might be doing some outlining or pre-writing for Skyward 3, but given that he is on tour at the moment, he probably isn't doing a whole lot.
+Ark1002 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 He stated at the Seattle signing that Skyward 2 was done.

+Ark1002 Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 I think he said something about Skyward three, but I'm not positive on that one.
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 He is revising stuff I think. The WoT short for that anthology. He might be trying to fix Apocalypse Guard as well. Or he needs to finish the outline for SA4. He is not writing TLM though.
Scion of the Mists Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 They've been at 100% for a few weeks now. I'm sure he's working on the outline for Stormlight but won't post a progress bar until he officially starts writing. Also, as others have pointed out, he's currently touring.
Saxmanmike Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Been trying to find an update here but did Brandon decide to put off Wax and Wayne 4?

Even if he's started (which I don't think he has due to the lack of progress bar), there's no way that he's finishing it this year. He's said that on Jan 1 he's going to drop everything and write Stormlight 4 until it's done.

I don't understand!!!! *goes into depression and rereads all of Sanderson's works to escape" Because each book goes through something like 8-10 revisions, literally, and it has to go through gamma readers and beta readers and editing (not necessarily all in that order), and once all of that is done then it has to go through the publisher to get the layout all figured out and then advanced copies made and then once it's ready they have to actually make all the thousands and thousands of physical copies and get them shipped to distributors so they can have them all ready to go once release day come. Or was that question meant to be rhetorical? If so, just ignore me...

Ethan_sedai he/him Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 yeah, I figured it still needed work even though it was "done" On 11/27/2018 at 2:00 AM, Ookla the Inconceivable said: It also builds momentum.
