There's been a lot of buzz going around about the book lately, particularly since Tor released this widget which makes some implication about the release date of the book.I asked Harriet if I should say anything about all of this, and her response to me was essentially "Keep on working. We'll worry about announcements."So...well, I'm going to leave it to her and to Tor. Nothing official has been said yet, though I think that's probably because the best way to make WoT-related announcements is being discussed. JordanCon is coming up next month, and I think it's likely that Harriet and Tor would rather wait until then to make any big revelations.Here's what I can say: I have not finished the complete manuscript. I've got about 450k words done of what I still plan to be an eventual 750k (or more) manuscript. I've spent most of January and all of February doing revisions. Harriet is pleased with what she has seen so far, but any manuscript needs a lot of work revising. Right now, we are focusing on making what we have done as good as it can be.I will post here when official announcements are made. They'll probably appear first on Tor.com or Dragonmount. I wouldn't expect anything to appear until the first week in April at the earliest. (Third week, during JordanCon, being even more likely.)

Various NotesPosted on 03.13.09Categories: Mistborn A Memory of LightI'm making progress on these A MEMORY OF LIGHT edits, slowly but surely. It's a lot more time-consuming than other books I've edited for several reasons. First off, I've got a lot of input coming in from Charleston. I receive feedback on every chapter not just from Harriet, but from Alan and Maria as well. It's all very good advice, but it's like juggling three editors on the same project, each with different specialties. The sheer organization of it all can be daunting sometimes.Recently--today and yesterday--I spent producing some new material for the first time in a while. One of the issues with revisions like this is that sometimes, Harriet and the others point out holes in the story which require new scenes to patch properly. As such, I've been 'spot writing' so to speak, crafting new scenes. Some are holes I knew were there and intended to patch, others were holes I left thinking that they would be all right--that readers would make the leap from one scene to another without the bridge scene. In one case, it's a scene I hadn't realized everyone would want to see, but they really do, so I've started work on it. I expect this to continue for the next few days, so you might see the main "A Memory of Light" progress bar inch up a few points. It's at 110% right now. (Which means 440k of completed manuscript, not counting some scenes that Mr. Jordan worked on that haven't yet happened in the chronology.)The basic estimate for the final length remains the same as it has since about last summer. 750k words. I'll let you know if I think that needs to be revised, but I really won't be able to guess until I've completed more of the manuscript. As I've warned, also, keep an eye on Dragonmount and Tor.com for official announcements related to the Wheel of Time. I'd guess that something will pop up in the next several weeks.And, in other random news, a reader was googling mistcloaks for costume ideas and ran across this. Yes, that is what you fear it to be. A Mistborn Lolcat, posted randomly on Icanhascheezburger. Heaven help us all. (And thanks so much for that link, Jon.)

Much thanks to everyone who has pointed out to me that the Mistborn Two Audiobook just hit Audible. The trilogy is finally complete in this format; I apologize that it took so long to get them all up there.AMOL revision work is moving right along. I'm afraid there's not much that is interesting to report. What I'm doing right now is probably the most boring part of a revision--line editing. I'm going line by line, trimming the fat, making it more readable, cutting the passive voice, making the scenes more visual, trying to cut out redundancy. There is a LOT of material here that I'm working with. It shouldn't be long before I'm back to writing new scenes, however. Probably next week or the week after.Tor is readying a press release about the release date of the book. I suspect you'll see that next week as well. Watch Tor.com and Dragonmount; I'll link it here when it goes live as well.If you didn't see the Mistborn Two deleted scenes, you might find them curious. Go drop by my forums to discuss.And, in parting, random comic strip.

Foradan a écrit :En français, ça donnerait donc 6 volumes ? Et c'est vrai que ça fait drôle d'imaginer une fin...

darkfriend a écrit :Oh, purée, trois tomes en VO, faut être gonflé quand même...:sifflote:C'est ch***t, on est un public "captif" qui a déjà acheté tous les 11 premiers tomes (en tous cas pour ceux qui suivent la VO), alors on sera obligé de se procurer de toute façon la fin, peu importe qu'elle soit en 1, 2 ou 3 tomes. Mais là c'est vraiment abuser.... . Bon, de toute façon je vais les acheter en GF, mais j'aurais aimé que ce soit le même format cartonné vu que j'ai déjà KOD dans ce format là....Et comme j'ai les tomes 1-10 en petit format, la série que j'ai n'est déjà pas homogène, c'est moche à voir, snif.Rhalallaa. Mais, pendant que j'y pense, Tad Williams avait aussi eu un énorme manuscrit pour le 3e tome de l'Arcane des Epées - To Green Angel Tower - (qui fait justement 1500 pages en petit format), et ils avaient quand même réussi à s'en tenir à 2 tomes....Je garde quand même un peu espoir que la raison va prévaloir (surtout que les fans américains risquent bien de se déchaîner ).
