pxchris Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Has anyone tried to compile a writing timeline for Brandon starting with Centrifugal in 1994 and through all of the pre-publication (2003) writings and then on up through the WoT years, and Stormlight then on forward to the present day? I've started to document some of that information, but was wondering if that's already all available somewhere? I didn't see anything on the Coppermind or elsewhere with a bit of Google-ing.

Wander89 he/him Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Subbing out of sheer curiosity. If this gets a final product then that's some sheer dedication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion of the Mists Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think that the Bibliography on the Coppermind has most of this, but the Unpublished Works are separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bibliography covers publishing dates, but not writing timelines. And at least for the most part, the individual entries on each book don't discuss the writing timelines. Same goes for the unpublished works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
