We need to talk about what Brandon Sanderson just did. For those who don’t know, Brandon Sanderson is a fantasy author. Primarily a writer of adult fantasy novels, he has also written middle grade and YA novels, as well as dabbled in the realm of graphic novels as well. He is probably best known for completing the Wheel of Time series after the death of author Robert Jordan, writing the last three novels of the series from Jordan’s extensive notes. The other thing Sanderson is known for is writing a lot. Like, a LOT, a lot. In a genre of fiction where fans joke about the long wait for Game of Thrones books, and the final book in the Kingkiller trilogy, Sanderson is the opposite of that, usually putting out multiple books a year, with at least one of them being several hundred pages long. He schedules out his work far in advance, and keeps his audience well informed of what he’s working on. He posts weekly YouTube videos updating how far along he is in whatever project he’s working on
