Calibandar Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 12 hours ago, Werthead said: Interestingly, she even gives an insight into what may have been a problem on the delays on the earlier books: she used to write in a very linear fashion, strictly one chapter after another. When she got stuck on one chapter, the entire novel got held up, sometimes for weeks or months, until she figured out how to get past the problem. When I read this I wonder where her editor was ( Frenkel I believe), or maybe even her agent. You'd think there is someone who is guiding the process somewhat when the delays keep following each other. A solution as simple as this is something I thought would surely have been tried already.

Jim Frenkel left Tor under a cloud in 2013, less than two years into the writing of Endlords, around the same time the massive Tor editing shitstorm erupted. I suspect Jones got lost in the mix with all of that going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had Frenkel leaving (or getting fired for gross misconduct, that still seems to be debatable and is probably still under NDAs) and you also had Patrick Nielsen Hayden getting behind on editing, which threw Tor's entire schedule into turmoil for a couple of years.

Jussi Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-dont-why-you-15574667 What is in my hands is ENDLORDS and getting the book started again after a six year break. I know I can write now, though I appear to be slower than before. Perhaps it's just old age. What I do know is that ENDLORDS will be a different book than the one I began six years ago. I've changed. Which means the book will change too. I may start from the beginning. At this point I'm not sure. I'll let you know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this tells me is that when the publish date is announced, I'll need a reread of the series before reading the last book. That's ok tho.

Jussi Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 https://www.patreon.com/posts/sunday-updatery-20395302 Quote I've been taking time this week to think about the long picture of the Sword of Shadows series. While writing the first four books, I held the entirety of the series as a possibility in my head. I didn't necessarily know what was going to happen to the characters on a chapter-by-chapter basis but I did know their general direction. I knew the shape. I no longer know the shape so I'm currently writing the chapters sequentially: Raif, Raina, the Dog Lord, Effie etc. Moving the characters forward to gain momentum, whilst unsure of their endpoints (finales). I have enough confidence in myself as a writer not to worry about the plot too much--I haven't outlined a book since A Man Betrayed--but I have seven POV characters here, that's seven plot lines (eight if we count Baralis which we really should) and it's time I got Planet Endlords spinning in my head. Once it's spinning everything will work out, plots will overlap and intertwine, characters will meet unexpectedly or be reunited, and the series as a whole will move forward. Breaking my wrist and the ensuing slowdown has hampered the process. To get and keep a book spinning requires daily application of force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 https://www.patreon.com/posts/prepare-for-21615364 Prepare For Raif's Arrival The first chapter of Endlords is the next Reward Goal. When I first posted it as a goal over a year ago, I didn't have a first chapter. Now I do. I wrote an entire book to get ready for writing ENDLORDS. I wasn't sure it was possible to write again and I needed to prove to myself I have the discipline, concentration and skill necessary to finish a book. I do. Breaking my wrist was a big setback. I lost three months to it. It's getting stronger. --- It will be October next week. It's always been my favorite month. A week from now, on October 1, I'll be posting Chapter One of ENDLORDS.

Rorshach Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 This makes me very happy! Also, this makes my prophesy of us seeing the end of Endlords before the end of Kingkiller all that more likely. Bow before me, mortals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
