This guy is the definition of prolific author. To my knowledge, I heard he writes in a single year: I don't think I've ever even heard of an author capable of what Sanderson is doing. that's closer to the kind of challenge he envisions. It's planning a multiverse that would span dozen of books, tens of thousands of pages, spread across an unreasonable number of standalone series along with some connecting series. Well it seems that for Sanderson meticulously planning a book is small scale. Especially in our current world, where writers of all sorts rarely plan their books well enough to reach a truly satisfying ending, that stood out. ![]() The plots are incredibly smart and very well structured, and in reading a trilogy by him you can count on it that there will be a hint to the end of the trilogy within the first pages of the first book. What so impressed me about the man's writing initially is how well planned his books are. It's not only vague plans to do "more books in this or that series" either - his plan includes the order in which the books have to be done (the third mistborn trilogy has to happen after the Elantris sequel, for example) which suggests he actually has a fairly good idea of where these stories are going. It recounts, among other things, the story of how he sneakily wrote another Mistborn novel while nobody was looking (totaling 2 new books in the Wax & Wayne series for 2015!), and his extensive and eleborate Cosmere plans for the next, oh, 30 years or so? ![]() ![]() The State of Sanderson for 2014 showcases Sanderson pretty well.
