Trivial is in the eye of the beholder. RabidWombat Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 09:52:52 PM
And it's not like he didn't ALREADY re-read the series for that reason.


Trivial is in the eye of the beholder. I like BS but his idea of trivial is completely different than RJ, IMO. You may prefer that BS writes the book to his own standards since you obviously prefer his standards. I for one, though am glad that BS wants to take the time to write it closer to RJs standards of what is trivial. I prefer RJs standards by a long shot. In the end, though, neither one of us will get what we want.

Is it just me, or is Sanderson's re-read of WoT taking an inordinate amount of time? Tom - 25/04/2011 08:35:10 PM 2415 Views
I would prefer it if he re-read it 5 times. I don't mind waiting. Deadsy - 25/04/2011 08:41:31 PM 1348 Views

I would love BS to get a better handle on the characters as well. RabidWombat - 26/04/2011 05:42:24 PM 1268 Views
My problems with the series have little or nothing to do with Sanderson. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:50:15 PM 1091 Views
Why should you care. Just stop reading the series. RabidWombat - 28/04/2011 09:45:17 PM 1233 Views
Because I want to find out how it ends. I was quite clear about that. Tom - 30/04/2011 12:34:51 AM 1095 Views
It's not like he's just reading for the hell of it. j-whitt987 - 25/04/2011 09:31:18 PM 1434 Views
Then what the hell is Maria being employed for? *NM* Tom - 27/04/2011 10:50:46 PM 550 Views
As a backup that he can go to when he can't take time to reread. j-whitt987 - 27/04/2011 11:15:48 PM 1090 Views
He probably doesn't think he can afford to skim; which bits are the trivial ones? Joel - 26/04/2011 04:36:56 AM 1151 Views
Sanderson of all people should know what bits are trivial by now Tom - 27/04/2011 10:52:00 PM 1012 Views
Maybe, but better safe than sorry. Joel - 28/04/2011 03:28:19 PM 1074 Views

After TOM re-reads, more beta readers and lots more edits is the order of the day ajfurst - 26/04/2011 01:00:15 PM 1276 Views
That could be just as easily fixed by having a few dedicated proofreaders. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:53:49 PM 1000 Views
I agree. I don't mind waiting, but it seems this re-read takes longer time than the previous one. ursidae - 26/04/2011 04:30:25 PM 1333 Views
I agree with that sentiment. Team Jordan is there to address these issues. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:56:17 PM 1012 Views
You're comparing him to Martin? lol This book is going to come out 2 years after the previous *NM* Deadsy - 28/04/2011 01:01:41 AM 598 Views
*dry* but imagine if he got those skimmable parts WRONG!! LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 04:41:23 PM 1098 Views
One persons "skimmable parts" is another persons treasure. RabidWombat - 26/04/2011 06:02:35 PM 1064 Views
Oh, I don't mind how much time he spends. LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 05:07:42 AM 1002 Views
I would guess that he's doing this. Myrdhyn - 26/04/2011 06:06:42 PM 1159 Views
It'd be interesting to see his desk LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 05:10:28 AM 1120 Views
Heh. No kidding. Kaldric - 27/04/2011 04:18:53 PM 1052 Views
Once again, that's what Maria and Team Jordan are there for. *NM* Tom - 27/04/2011 10:56:59 PM 500 Views
I prefer him to complete his re-read and have enough time for a good series of round(s) for editing RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2011 05:06:22 PM 1253 Views
YES Tom - 27/04/2011 10:57:50 PM 1095 Views
not everyone can read and retain a book in a day like i can Yunalesca - 26/04/2011 05:51:39 PM 1251 Views
I'm pretty sure most people around here can, and Brandon Sanderson can too. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:59:31 PM 1098 Views
Little league, haha (mostly jk) DREWRULESWOT! - 14/05/2011 10:11:45 AM 1169 Views
He has said that he is starting to write the book since it's taking so long. Terez - 28/04/2011 05:13:09 AM 1100 Views
Wish he wouldn't rush... *NM* mogi67 - 07/05/2011 08:58:18 PM 683 Views
