Robert Jordan... is a lot of writer

Here's a secret: fictive text doesn't necessarily flow easily. Most of the time it's more like cutting a highway through a mountain. You just have to keep working with your pick, chipping away at the rock, making slow progress.

I never do a full outline, and if I did, I would not feel bound to it, because the view from inside a scene can be different from the view outside it. But neither do I just start writing and see what happens; I am far more disciplined than that.

I did not know at first that it would be a series; I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more.

When I started writing this, I found that I simply couldn't take fantasy seriously, so it became humorous, and continued from there.

For our stories are not yet finished, and perhaps will never be.

Is it foolish to care for non-existent folk?Then, leave me to my foolishness.
