yo, I saw you interviewed Jennifer Nelson! That's so cool!!!

I see, I see. I get that 100%. I understand the whole stuff with wanting something more like courting instead of the casual dating culture we have rn, if that's what you're meaning. For me, rn, I don't think I'm mature enough yet for either of those, and, besides, I still need to get over some stupid things I still have in my mindset before I can actually have a respectful relationship with a girl.

lol. Me too sometimes, buddy, me too... But, hey, you can't be as old fashioned as a friend of mine... long story short, he and I have a lot of disagreements.

What is your favorite WoF book and why?

Favorite Cosmere book cover?

Stick.

Not about the politics, but about Marasi and Twinsoul tracking down Moonlight.

Yes, but not about him. I want a Secret History 2 about Marasi and Twinsoul.

About in the path of their duty by elder bednar. I referenced Fleet. i bore my talk and it went well!

Giving a talk today. Wish me luck.

Y'all, I am here because I need to remind y'all writers who are just starting out about outlines. When you think of an outline, or when I at least think of one, I think of x heading about y character. That is okay, that is a cool outline and I reccomend doing something like that, at least for your characters to get the ideas out of year head and onto paper. What I'm talking about, however, is not that. Outlining, the deeper meaning of it, at least, is the map of your story. Now, when people talk about this, they usually say like "Ah, yes, bullet points with scenes and such." Now, I really did not understand what that truly meant till yesterday. An outline is not a scene by scene summary, at least it doesn't have to be. An outline is a map to what you want to write. Now, what does that mean? It means that it is not the whole thing. It is different things about what different sections of your story will be. For me, I put down all the stuff I have thought of and can think of that I want in broad terms besides some specific scenes into my outline. This works for me because I write in a very discovery writer way where I basically improvise stuff and keep all the character arcs in my subconscious while I do it, just letting the characters write themselves mostly. Outlines do not have to be specifics or any of all that. An outline is a brief scaffolding set up for your book that you can then use to make a more stable first draft. Then, that outline can help you with the later drafts so you can see what you did wrong structurally and fix it. And, if you need a far more detailed outline, than that's good too! Or if you don't like outlines and are a discovery writer, then don't follow my advice.

I have never read any by Butcher, but this sounds like the perfect collab from all the things I've heard about Jim.

Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson would be epic, writing wise, but when it comes to them actually working together, I would doubt it would ever work. If they did a Terry Pratchett-esque book together, I would love it. Leigh Bardugo and Dan Wells would be insanely fun. A Neil Gaiman and Leigh Bardugo collab would be so good. Christopher Paolini and Brandon Sanderson would be sweet. and now for dead author things. Frank Herbert and Christopher Paolini. Tolkien and C S Lewis would just be my dream to read. Like, if this exists and I don't know it, someone let me know and I will run as fast as I can to the nearest book store. C S Lewis and Terry Pratchet. I know they have opposing views on a lot of things, but I feel like with the style of Screwtape and then the way Pratchett weaves Discworld... It could be amazing. John the Revelator and Isaiah. lol. Robert Jordan and Neil Gaiman. Idk, but a more horror WoT book... And, finally... Terry Goodkind and Ayn Rand merely because I think it would be hilarious to read, not because they're funny but because it would be so hilariously bad.

Some store bought eggnog is delicious, a lot of it sucks though yeah. This is the best store-bought one by far, if anyone wanted to know.
