If George won't do it while he's living I'm sure his estate will do it after he's dead.

Seeing as how his travel schedule seems to get busier and busier all the time, I wonder if he's ever even considered softening his self-imposed "only-writes-at-home" rule a bit?

Doesn't Sanderson have his own 10 doorstop series to write?

Sanderson could spit that out in month of Tuesdays if he put his mind to it.

Pfff... I'm really happy I never enjoyed his series, I would not want to be in some of my friends place, waiting and hoping and fearing another Wheel of Time...

He might finish writing it somehow, but I seriously doubt I'll finish reading it. I must be in the minority, but I couldn't even finish the first book.

I've pretty much given up on it myself after the last book and gave up on the tv series too.

Sanderson was also working on a bunch of his own books while simultaneously finishing The Wheel of Time.

I suggested Sanderson specifically because his track record shows he can handle the load AND do it well.

He's like James Patterson only he does it for real instead of franchising.

Doesn't he use some ancient DOS computer to write on? It's probably not very convenient to lug around.

But since his ancient DOS computer is probably just his excuse for not lugging around his work...
