I need to step back.
I'll be off of the shard for a week. Goodbye my friends, I will miss you all. See you soon.

Very! Have a nice week off the Shard
-
Hope you enjoy your break!
-
Thank you all!
That was just what the doctor ordered, I feel wonderful.

I have done something I have wanted to do for a long time.
Many will undoubtedly feel a sense of weight as they see what started something that will be a defining feature of my work to come.
Others will certainly feel that this is the first of my many failings.
I however feel that this is right, and have used the promise of being able to do this to keep me going.
Thinking back on it, today was a good day to kill.
SpoilerFor context I just killed a PoV character in the book I'm wrighting.

Happy Birthday!

I can't tell you how good it feels to report a spambot before they even post.
-
I've gotten to the point in my writing I can tell when something's not working and how to fix it.
I can't tell you how happy thig makes me.

@Thaidakar the Ghostblood yeah, that's the Frustrating part.
I reccomend writing at least 100 words six days a week, it really fast tracked me.
-
mkay, thanks Frusty! I get at least four hours a week of writing, and that worked for me until cowriting the book with my friend got a little frustrating and boring, except I can't just gently let him go because he had the idea for the book.

Spoiler
Shallan’s father gave her a necklace made of aluminum. She later used that same necklace to strangle him. 1. Does Shallan still have that necklace? 2. Does the fact that the necklace is aluminum mean anything important, investiture-wise?
Could Shallan have successfully strangled her father to death with a different necklace? Perhaps one made out of something other than aluminum?
Aight answers for you.
Aluminum is not invested, but is immune to investiture itself, so the necklace being made of aluminum would have no effect as it didn't kill Lin Davar, lack of oxygen did, being strangled by an aluminum chain would be no different so someone with investiture than any other material.

The first two are suspect as Brandon has said Shallan's memory about the necklace being aluminum is not to be 100% trusted.
SpoilerQuestioner
So, I'm intrigued by aluminum, especially the fact that it can only be found by Soulcasting on Roshar. So, how was it discovered in the first place?
Brandon Sanderson
...Did I say you can only get it through Soulcasting?
Questioner
In the Shallan flashbacks, she has the pendant.
Brandon Sanderson
Don't take what she says at 100% truth.
Oathbringer release party (Nov. 13, 2017) -
i think that WoB is saying there are other ways to get aluminum/you can't actually get it from soulcasting, not that the necklace itself isn't aluminum
which is true actually, we find out in Oathbringer that aluminum is found on roshar from meteorites.
QuoteQuestioner
The meteorite metal that they talk about that blocks Shards, is that aluminum?
Brandon Sanderson
Uh, so-- yes.
Footnote: Referencing OB Ch 100, "There are legends of metal that can block a Shardblade. A metal that falls from the sky. Silver, but somehow lighter."
Oathbringer Chicago signing (Nov. 21, 2017)The WoB you just quoted was from the OB release party, so it makes sense that the questioner would ask that question, they hadn't read the book yet.

I won't say it's impossible.

Oh no.
It happened.

Otherwise I wouldn't do it so often

Well, yes. Yes indeed. That is correct.

Going through the previous SU's by Danex I have watched a man's mental state slowly deteriorate.

Do you ever have days at work that the clock just stands still, and then follow it up with a day that you reconcile Platonic solids and Toaist elements to remove chemistry from you fantasy world and replace it with alchemy?
because that's what just happened.

Er, no. It takes all sorts?
-
@Robin Hatter what did you mean?
-
I was referencing the saying "it takes all sorts to make a world" as a way of saying we were very different people.

I just found out venomous sharks are a thing.

Cool. Also scary.

I'm telling you this one spambot will not give up. It must have gone through 5 acounts by now, but it just changes the numbers and tries again.
-
A lot of them are on the same topics, so you do just have to keep reporting and we'll keep banning.
