Hints from Twitter by BS regarding ToM Etzel Send a noteboard - 07/10/2009 07:42:50 PM
BS - who we know is working on ToM now and picking some names of real persons for it - just posted on Twitter that he named some of Gawyn's Younglings after real life persons:

"Recenlty adapted names: Fitzgerald Clark, Eric Mazsone, Han Zhang. You guys just joined the ranks of the younglings," and: "Maksim Zhukov, your name came up next."

Around a week ago BS stated that: "Laura Negin, you'ended up as a villiage near Tar Valon."

Two days ago BS also said that he tossed what he wrote on Friday:
"Tossed the section from ToM I wrote on Friday. I knew at the time it wasn't working, but sometimes you need to finish so you can redo it."

Apparently it was a rather difficult section to write.

I think these little hints and the title "Towers of Midnight" further indicate that the battle at TV will happen in book 13. In my view, it makes sense that RJ wouldn't have written down the battle scenes in detail.

I really hate that he's putting real people's names into it - 08/10/2009 05:21:21 AM 948 Views
He "fantasys" them up a bit- I think that aspect will be ok, at least - 08/10/2009 05:31:07 AM 978 Views

Sorry, Sidious, but someone else's name has been 'chosen' - 10/10/2009 03:33:25 AM 950 Views
Yes, because the Younglings will not exist after that battle? *NM* - 08/10/2009 11:17:31 AM 430 Views
Probably they will exist... - 10/10/2009 08:08:01 AM 903 Views
God I hate Twitter. It's the most annoying piece of garbage on the internet. - 08/10/2009 04:13:44 PM 967 Views

There are sometimes interesting tidbits to be found, though. - 10/10/2009 10:02:44 AM 800 Views
