The Not a Book Club Club discussion

The annual "State of the Sanderson" has been posted. I figured since there was some confusion on Mistborn, I'd post that here:

"And speaking of Mistborn, how is Scadrial doing? My current plan is still to have the Mistborn books stretch throughout my career, establishing stories in different eras of time with different sets of characters.

The original pitch was for three trilogies. The Wax and Wayne books expanded this to four series. (You can imagine Wax and Wayne as series 1.5, if you want.) This means there will still be a contemporary trilogy, and a science fiction trilogy, in the future.

I have one more book to do in the Wax and Wayne series, and I’m planning to write it sometime between Stormlight books three and four. Until then, Wax and Wayne three—The Bands of Mourning—comes out in January!

Status: Era 1.5 book three done; book four coming soonish"

It includes updates on most of his stuff.

Man...every year when I read that blog, I'm amazed at how many irons he has in the fire at once. Here's to that Sanderson productivity.

I'm getting kind of tired of it. I'd just like him to focus on one or two things. But who am I to tell him how to work.

Better to put out a bunch of stuff I may not read than nothing for years like Martin or Rothfuss. So long as Stormlight doesn't suffer as a result. I'm mfine waiting. The last Mistborn book felt rushed.

Good points Rob. I haven't read much Sanderson (OG Mistborn + Warbreaker) so I mainly just see the volume that he generates without really investigating quality.

I've heard good things about Stormlight so I hope that it doesn't suffer as well.

So far Stormlight has been fantastic.
