HE IS NOT HUMAN, that’s how! Actual answer is that a good number of his books were 5 - 50% written years ago. He has said that during his Mormon mission, forget what they call that, and his time at Brigham Young University, he had would write notebooks full of ideas and drafts of a lot of this stuff. Some were only scratching and some had entire sections written out. He is a guy who actually wrote down all the ideas he had in his free time and is just insane enough to want to expand on them. I’ll be honest, I find him kinda hit or miss and think he get the dicksuck treatment from the fantasy community, like David Lynch and R.R, both good writers who I think get too much praise sometimes. BUT GOD DAMNIT IF I DONT RESPECT BRANDERSON! I may not always like his works, but fuck me if he doesn’t know the CRAFT of WRITING.

I see people talking about how he must have ghost writers and stuff. It's funny, because I could totally see how you would think that, but no. It's not even that he's all that fast, he's just hella efficient. He spends like 8-10 hours a day everyday writing, non-stop. When he gets writers block, he just starts writing something else. He's also outlined large portions of the Cosmere like 2 decades ago. All these combined with a large team of editors and lore-experts makes him one of the most prolific writers in the industry.

@SandraNLN 10 ай бұрын

Exactly! I certainly remember reading once (could be inaccurate) that before he even became a professor, as well as during his off-hours as one, he would write pages upon pages of notes and outlines for the Cosmere and had so many stories already pretty much fully planned out by the time he started publishing. Unlike Rothfuss, it's a lot easier to finish novels when you know where they're going and how to end them. Rather than piddle around trying to write an ending /after/ you have the pressure of established fans with expectations telling you to get over your writer's block and just hurry up already. Sanderson is a super nerd for the universe he created, it's obvious he doesnt have ghostwriters. Just a great editing team that can blast through his manuscripts and clean everything up to get published.

So, fun fact: Research shows that writer's block is correlated to depression, and correspondingly there is a direct opposite of writer's block correlated to mania, called _hypergraphia._ Which is when you literally can't stop compulsively writing shit down. What I'm trying to say is: All of you feeling unproductive compared to all these extremely prolific writers, keep in mind: It's not you. Those guys probably just have an actual mental condition that happen to make them obscenely good at writing novels, that's all.

Yep. Writing 450,000 words will take about 187.5 hours for the average writer typing on a keyboard 12 hours a day = 15 days 6 hours a day = 31 days Not barring writers block, days off, and doesn't account for technical issues etc. So therefore 4 books = 124 straight days of writing at 6 hours per day. So unless you do nothing else but write for 124 days straight without even one day off, you can probably assume he has help.

@Karthos1000 2 жыл бұрын

I personally love Brandon Sanderson's writing. My friend introduced me to the Stormlight Chronicles a few years ago (right around when the first book came out) and I devoured them. Absolutely loved them. I stopped reading for a while, then I pledged a LOT to his kickstarter campaign. Since I'm going to be getting a "year of Sanderson" I figured I should probably read some other Sanderson. So I read the Skyward series (still a book to come) then the first Mistborn Series. Then the Reckoners Series. Now I'm reading the second Mistborn series, and I have another series set aside to read on vacation. I particularly like the humanity of the characters, their own self-doubts and confusion, but I also like that they rise to heroism when the situation demands it. Most of his books end with a moment of heroic awesome. And the best part is... there's always another book to read. I'm not waiting for 11 years for Winds of Winter, yet secretly knowing it's never going to come out, because GRRM is done with SoIaF. (Unlike Wheel of Time, Sanderson won't be finishing that series after GRRM dies; he's said he never would, because the writing style and story type is too different.)

For everyone who would say such a thing to someone, in the face of so much hard work and defiance through adversity. Rethink before you type such a worthless, heartless, bullish comment. This comment should not be someone's reward for all their hard work. If you are on the bus, does it still matter that you had to run to catch it? Disgraceful attitude.

Currently reading tress of the emerald sea. ive been taking my time reading it so I’d not have a big gap to wait for the third secret project book which is now out so I’m behind along with me buying the first dune trilogy and the first three wheel of time books.

And wonder of wonders, every one is perfect for me. Oh sure, others take issue with this or that, but to me they feel like Branderson is stalking me and writing every single novel for me specifically.

I would list the amount of things Brandon Sanderson does with both his work and personal life, but we’re all watching this video and are relating, and we all know that Brandon Sanderson has to be one of the most efficient people in the US at their job.

don't rush your reading based on mr. Sanderson writing rhythm. You will lose. The man is a machine. And he had many manuscripts before he published his first book, so...
