Back to AMoL!
Categories: Warbreaker A Memory of LightWarbreaker 6.0 is done! I worked on it a good ten hours today, and managed to push through to the ending. I'm too tired right now to post it, but I'll get it up early next week. The revision took a little longer than I would have wanted--almost three weeks--but it feels very good to have it done and off the plate. Continue Reading...

ALA
Categories: Warbreaker ConventionsAt the request of Tor, I did a quick trip down to LA on Saturday to make an appearance at ALA. (The American Library Association's annual conference.) I didn't get to stay long, though the highlight of the experience was being on a panel with Vernor Vinge, Eric Flint, and Cory Doctorow. We each spoke for a short time on information, science fiction and fantasy, and the future of information technology. I felt totally out-classed to be speaking with such great authors. If you haven't tried Eric or Cory's books, you can find them for free on the websites I linked above. Vernor doesn't have any free downloads that I know of, but I consistently list his book A FIRE UPON THE DEEP as one of my favorite all-time novels. I highly recommend it, or anything he's written.

Warbreaker and A Memory of Light General Updates
Categories: Warbreaker A Memory of LightFolks! I'm hard at work this week on a Warbreaker revision. It's a fact of the business that you often have to stop what you're working on to do something else, and in this case, we need to have Warbreaker ready to go by the end of July. That means that I'll be getting only a little bit done on AMoL, but I will probably have yet another draft of Warbreaker ready for download in a short while. This will probably be the last one for download, as all changes after this will be done on hard copy and not the computer. Continue Reading...
Done! (With something that...well, I can't tell you much about.)
Categories: Warbreaker Wheel of TimeLast night I finished a major plot arc of A MEMORY OF LIGHT. This is important, since it's one of the big pieces that Mr. Jordan didn't write himself. (I figured that I would write this chunk early, rather than one of the ones that had a lot of work done on it already. That way, if I did a terrible job, there would be plenty of time for Harriet to set me straight regarding it.) I can't tell you who or what it details, but it turned out really well. I wish I could say more, but...well...I'm also happy that I can't. I'm very open with the projects I work on; that is my style. However, one of the things about the Wheel of Time has always been that Mr. Jordan releases very little information about upcoming books. That adds to the mystery and the tension, and is part of the Wheel of Time process. I will promise you, though, that just like Mr. Jordan said...there are dead mules in the prologue.
