TorCon Recap: Alcatraz 6's Prose Is Done!

"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite book in the Citadel in audiobook form."

I'm not surprised Sanderson is sick of the book, but I am worried if this will disrupt his Wandersail novella plan. If he's sick of Roshar (which may more may not be the case), will he really force himself to write more in that world? If he's sick or revisions, then The Apocalypse Guard will probably be affected as well (he was supposed to work on a revision of that book as well as write Rysn's novella in July). I'm not too concerned, but I am curious about what will happen.

A bit of Scadrial or Threnody would be better. Won't we get enough Roshar this year?

Agreed. I’d love some Scadrial.

or, even better, if he could write a bit of The Rithmatist #2...

I'd LOVE Scadrial, but depending on how burnt out Sanderson is and on WHAT Sanderson is burnt out on (epic fantasy vs Cosmere vs just Roshar - we'll know more in July), Scadrial might unfortunately get pushed to next year. Also, if the Skyward movie deal moves forward, then Sanderson might want to push to finish that series so it can be complete around the same time the movie comes out. 

As for enough Roshar, I'm of two minds. On one hand, this was always supposed to be a part of the kickstarter and Sanderson has talked about how there are things referenced in the book that happened in the novella. So taking all of that into account - and the fact that Rysn is one of my favorite characters - I see this as a part of the whole package, and not getting it is seen as almost less than promised. 

On the other hand, I really, REALLY want W&W 4, and at this point would GLADLY take that and another Skyward book over Stormlight at this point. But the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. If Sanderson is burnt out on Stormlight and would rather work on W&W 4 before coming back to Roshar later in the year to write the novella, so be it. If he decides to do that, but between Skyward 3 & 4, also so be it.

If all goes well, then there's a chance that he may write it the back half of next year if he has time. Well...either the Rithmatist sequel or that YA kite-based magic book that Sanderson really wanted to write last year.
