Trivial is in the eye of the beholder. RabidWombat Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 09:52:52 PM
And it's not like he didn't ALREADY re-read the series for that reason.


Trivial is in the eye of the beholder. I like BS but his idea of trivial is completely different than RJ, IMO. You may prefer that BS writes the book to his own standards since you obviously prefer his standards. I for one, though am glad that BS wants to take the time to write it closer to RJs standards of what is trivial. I prefer RJs standards by a long shot. In the end, though, neither one of us will get what we want.

Is it just me, or is Sanderson's re-read of WoT taking an inordinate amount of time? Tom - 25/04/2011 08:35:10 PM 2212 Views
I would prefer it if he re-read it 5 times. I don't mind waiting. Deadsy - 25/04/2011 08:41:31 PM 1179 Views

I would love BS to get a better handle on the characters as well. RabidWombat - 26/04/2011 05:42:24 PM 1045 Views
My problems with the series have little or nothing to do with Sanderson. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:50:15 PM 906 Views
Why should you care. Just stop reading the series. RabidWombat - 28/04/2011 09:45:17 PM 1025 Views
Because I want to find out how it ends. I was quite clear about that. Tom - 30/04/2011 12:34:51 AM 914 Views
It's not like he's just reading for the hell of it. j-whitt987 - 25/04/2011 09:31:18 PM 1237 Views
Then what the hell is Maria being employed for? *NM* Tom - 27/04/2011 10:50:46 PM 471 Views
As a backup that he can go to when he can't take time to reread. j-whitt987 - 27/04/2011 11:15:48 PM 935 Views
He probably doesn't think he can afford to skim; which bits are the trivial ones? Joel - 26/04/2011 04:36:56 AM 971 Views
Sanderson of all people should know what bits are trivial by now Tom - 27/04/2011 10:52:00 PM 812 Views
Maybe, but better safe than sorry. Joel - 28/04/2011 03:28:19 PM 881 Views

After TOM re-reads, more beta readers and lots more edits is the order of the day ajfurst - 26/04/2011 01:00:15 PM 1103 Views
That could be just as easily fixed by having a few dedicated proofreaders. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:53:49 PM 826 Views
I agree. I don't mind waiting, but it seems this re-read takes longer time than the previous one. ursidae - 26/04/2011 04:30:25 PM 1060 Views
I agree with that sentiment. Team Jordan is there to address these issues. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:56:17 PM 831 Views
You're comparing him to Martin? lol This book is going to come out 2 years after the previous *NM* Deadsy - 28/04/2011 01:01:41 AM 516 Views
*dry* but imagine if he got those skimmable parts WRONG!! LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 04:41:23 PM 911 Views
One persons "skimmable parts" is another persons treasure. RabidWombat - 26/04/2011 06:02:35 PM 895 Views
Oh, I don't mind how much time he spends. LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 05:07:42 AM 826 Views
I would guess that he's doing this. Myrdhyn - 26/04/2011 06:06:42 PM 972 Views
It'd be interesting to see his desk LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 05:10:28 AM 934 Views
Heh. No kidding. Kaldric - 27/04/2011 04:18:53 PM 860 Views
Once again, that's what Maria and Team Jordan are there for. *NM* Tom - 27/04/2011 10:56:59 PM 422 Views
I prefer him to complete his re-read and have enough time for a good series of round(s) for editing RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2011 05:06:22 PM 1092 Views
YES Tom - 27/04/2011 10:57:50 PM 901 Views
not everyone can read and retain a book in a day like i can Yunalesca - 26/04/2011 05:51:39 PM 1080 Views
I'm pretty sure most people around here can, and Brandon Sanderson can too. Tom - 27/04/2011 10:59:31 PM 891 Views
Little league, haha (mostly jk) DREWRULESWOT! - 14/05/2011 10:11:45 AM 983 Views
He has said that he is starting to write the book since it's taking so long. Terez - 28/04/2011 05:13:09 AM 950 Views
Wish he wouldn't rush... *NM* mogi67 - 07/05/2011 08:58:18 PM 593 Views
