Karger he/him Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Perhaps he awakened his computer with the injunction write for me? I think he would know how to get enough breath and giving a keyboard the capacity to write for you that since it does not need to sleep or eat could explain his progress. 2
equinox Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 There's a new reading from one of Brandon's signings in Germany. Haven't seen it on the shard by now, so here it is: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/388/#e12676 I am excited. And even more sorry that I missed him in Munich 6
NattyBo Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 SA4 up a % to 14%! Sandman must have put in some work over the long weekend! 2
Winds Alight she/her Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Rough draft at 16%!!! Edited May 30, 2019 by Winds Alight 5

Winds Alight she/her Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 It went up to 17 % in the last hour or so! (I know this 'cause I already checked 2 or 3 times today already XD) 3

Use the Falchion Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 13 minutes ago, Winds Alight said: 18 % Which means he's close to 20%, which is CRAZY, considering a little over 2 months ago he just started. Hopefully we'll get another update (my guess is at the 25% mark) before his tours in July. But even if he works at a pace of 10% per month (roughly 1% every three days, give-or-take), Sanderson still might not finish until January 2020. 1

I believe january 2020 was his optimistic guess when he might finish it ... so I don't believe it likely to be done sooner.

I'd be thrilled if he was finished by January, we'd conceivably see the book by Christmas next year then!

NattyBo Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Anyone have the link to the post (here or Reddit, cant remember) where it's broken down what 1% of the bar is? IIRC it was like 1200 words? That seems low, but what do I know
Winds Alight she/her Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I believe it's about 4000 words? Given the book will be around 400 000, which is rather likely.

If Reddit wasn't blocked at work, I'd google fu and confirm it, but I'm almost certain you're correct about the 4k words = 1%. And agreed, thats why I came here to ask - my 1200 = 1% would have made for a really disappointing SA4!
Winds Alight she/her Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 120k would maybe make a good Stormlight novella on how Drehy and Skar made it out of Kholinar 1

Which, I am seriously looking forward to But, this would also be a cool story to hear. I personally missed it more than seeing ‘the wedding’ 2
