If Jordan had not gotten sick in the first place or just if he hadn't died? Tom Send a noteboard - 11/03/2011 11:11:26 PM
I think that if he had been healthy he would have just dragged it out for book after book, and we might be waiting for Book 18 at one point (if any fans still remained...oh who am I kidding, there are brainwashed fans for every author).

Once he knew he was really sick, that it was amyloidosis and that he was probably going to die sooner rather than later, he did make a conscious decision to wrap up the series and so A Memory of Light was definitely meant to be one book, even if, as he said, we needed a cart to move it around.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Me? It's you who's built up a fiction - 13/03/2011 07:43:16 PM 956 Views
No. Once again, accelerating the pace is not the same as finishing in one more book. - 14/03/2011 03:02:46 PM 800 Views
