Skyward 2 Second Draft Finished, Other Book Plans, And Custom Steel Alphabet Rings

No Cosmere in 2019? But what about White Sand Volume 3?!? If the pattern continues, it should be out in February April July August!

You mean August 2020?

Volume 1 to 2 was a little over a year and a half. It probably won't be that long. 

Aww, that's practically two years with no Cosmere stories. 5 more and we'll be making GRRM jokes about Brandon.

A pity, but as long as he stays commited to churning out Stormlight-epics I'm fine with some pauses.

Has he commented on the 'secret project' listed on the progress bars of his website?

Because if not, that screams Cosmere to me, especially in light of an elsewise two year gap

@What's a Seawolf? He has said Secret Project is not Cosmere.

He hasn't said anything about it (other than it being noncosmere), but said we would probably get an announcement before State of Sanderson. You can bet we will do a news post when we hear what it is.

Okay guys, I know you all are in a state of distress since there's no cosmere (believe me I am too) but you guys SKYWARD IS COMING OUT NEXR MONTH! I could not be more excited! And he's already started the sequel! How cool is that!

It's published by Dynamite. You could plausibly believe Stormlight 5 will be out before then. I'm thinking a 2020 release date, though. 

So Lost Metal will be postponed, which will postpone the Elantris sequels which might postpone the Era 3 Mistborn trilogy (though I think it might get started before the Elantris sequels). If he does not get some of Lost Metal written, I can not see him finishing it/ writing it while working on Stormlight 4, since that is apparently the hardest and most involved project he is on. 

And if that occurs, the question becomes when will Skyward 3 be written? What takes precedence, Skyward 3 or Lost Metal?

I am pretty much readying myself for a 2022 release of the Lost Metal. This year's State of the Sanderson might change that calculus, but a lot depends on how much of Lost Metal and/or Skyward 3 has been "written".

To add one clarification: it's excellent that he is sticking to the Stormlight schedule. That is the most important project currently.

Honestly it looks pretty sad if we have to wait 6 years for the next Mistborn book. Bands of Mourning came out January 2016... 

I know he's busy with other series/books, but this delays Era 3 Mistborn too so its a double hit.

Precisely! 

I think we'll be fine once we get to Era 3. Mistborn and Stormlight are the most important series, it's getting there that might be somewhat painful. 

Well Brandon is not GRRM. I honestly do not think, that he would leave a series unfinished for 6 years. A gap of more than 3 years between Era 2 and 3 sounds realistic to me (although not wanted), however not within one Era.
