I was just thinking about this, every week there isnt a book release or other major event coming up I used to be like "huh, guess this will be a short update...*reads 10 minutes on the video timeline*"
Brandon, I hadn’t read a book in over 15 years. In my mind I’d put it off as something I couldn’t do due to my ADHD. About a month ago I decided for the first time in well over a decade to give it a go again and my sister had lended me a copy of The Final Empire many years ago. I finished the trilogy in two weeks and have finished TWOK and half of Words of Radiance. Your Art has inspired me, and changed my life, in both reading, writing, and world building. I am going to buy and read every single work you’ve ever made my friend. Hard to put into words my thanks, but I am truly grateful to be alive at a time when I can read Brando Sando. You have a marvellous mind.
I have ADHD too and last year I hyperfixated on the cosmere so much that i caught up! (I had only read Warbreaker, The Final Empire and the Well of Ascension the previous year)
very inaccurate measuring system, but Wheel of Time Longest book vs shortest SLA full novel is 1.03107 books long. Shortest wheel of time vs longest published SLA is .48 books long. (longest Lord of Chaos vs Way of kings, Shortest The Path of Daggers vs Rhythm of War until WAT is published. )
Got The Most Boring Book Ever and read it to my 3 kids last night. They loved it. Then my 8-year-old said, Im going to read it again, the *right* way. She proceeded to add a whole lot of hilarious commentary, speaking first person from the boy's perspective. All I can say is it's too bad I wasn't recording it. Well done Brandon! It reminded us of Castle in the Sky and There's an Alligator Under My Bed. Amazing company to share.
Is there any news on when there will be a crowdfunding or whatever campaign for the signed editions of Wind and Truth. I remember Brandon mentioning once that they will sell a bundle like defiant maybe. Or they will do a crowdfunding campaign for it
@@SujeetRaj711 You needed to preorder from a bookstore, they had 10,000 copies allocated. They're going to have another 5,000 to sell at cons and in their store, but those will probably sell out almost immediately so you'll have to keep a close eye on it.
I am so glad you are putting together a non-cosnere collection. All your writing is amazing and more people need to give it a chance! Hopefully the popularity of the Cosmere PLUS the ease of access of it all being in one volume will lead to more people getting into it now. Seriously, I cant praise it enough. I read Snapshot earlier this year and I still think about it. More so than some of my favorite Cosmere entries! The story is just so interesting, there is such a tantalizing glimpse at a bigger world and such a satisfying, curious ending with perfect payoff for everything planted earlier. I wont spoil it for anybody but Snapshot is a great place to start on Sandersons non-Cosmere works. Please, please, PLEASE give it a try, everybody!!
Snapshot is a great book! I'm happy to hear that the show is loving forward. Edit: I need that Bridge 4 beanie! I see you dropping that right before it gets cold on the east coast 😉
She's holding a fabrial, she has to be touching the gem. It's for science! Besides, she's in her private lab, alone, and nobody's going to barge in unannounced - unless it's Dalinar, in which case, making him embarrassedangryhorny is an extra bonus!
You know you're supporting not only a good author but just a good person when they're willing to be frank with their readers. 'Were making a boardgame based on my material. To be honest, I dont like boardgames, but it was well done and I hope you like it.' Kudos to Brandon 😂
My favorite short story collection ever is Dreamsongs by George R R Martin. It's basically a biography combined with a short story collection. Grrms even narrates the audiobook sections where he details the history of his work and it is delightful! I really wish more ppl would try and make their story collections into something more meaningful like Dreamsongs. And, when you said there will be plenty of "Brandon ephemera" in the collection, it really made me hopeful that we will get at least short intros to each story, kind of like the essays in Arcanim Unbounded, but about real history not in-universe stuff. Not sure if that is what you meant but that is where my mind went and id love to see it be true. : )
Nothing's changed in his plans as far as we know, that's still slated to be his project for the rest of the year. He just wanted to do this novella first because he was inspired.
When are we going to get updates on secret project 5? It should be coming out the middle of next year would love to start getting more information about it.
Aye Brandon, we millennials made Flat bill fitted caps popular in the 2000s! In my hood, you could only wear 59fifty New Era ball caps that matched your shoes! Gen Z can't have it, lol.
I wish you would visit Canada. Especially beautiful British Columbia or Alberta. Most celebrities go to Toronto to do events which is why I'm promoting western Canada. We don't have a lot of conventions but we do have the P.N.E, and the Calgary stampede. I'm positive you guys would have a blast here. Please think about looking into those events.
@@KALtheHighstorm117 it’s a short story or novella, can’t remember which. Basically about a couple detectives trying to catch a serial killer by entering this “snapshot” which is like a sci-fi recreation of a full day in order to find him. It’s pretty good and worth a read, though it’s been a few years since I read it
Hmmmm, okay, so we have some developments here. Brandon's Progressionspren just displayed a burst of confetti -- which raises the question that perhaps the progress bubbles we see are not, in fact, Brandon's Progressionspren itself, but something else? Spren haven't been able to use the surges that they bind in the same way as their bonded that I recall, but they *do* tend to have some measure of 'magic' within their identitive domain -- Wyndle grows vines, Pattern can reproduce sounds, etc. Maybe the simplest answer is the right one and Progressionspren, similar to Honorspren, have significant control over their form and can become confetti? Or in a more limited capacity like other spren, Progressionspren can emote with various Progression-domain-related concepts like progress bars/bubbles, confetti, etc.? But then there's the question of where are those limits? Balloons? Just round ones, or are balloon animals out of the question? However, a more complicated answer might suggest that a Progressionspren perhaps gives access to the Illumination surge? If we continue logically, it would make the *most* sense that it *also* gives access to the surge of Progression... But that would mean that a Progressionspren is giving the same surges as a Truthwatcher... making a Progressionspren somehow similar to a Mistspren? Or is Brandon's Progressionspren somehow a unique spren, like the Stormfather? As Pattern would say, "hmmmmm."
While I really wish we could get an announcement for a Cosmere book adaptation it's still really cool to hear that a work of his is potentially getting adapted. If that is made well and Brandon shows that he can work with whoever to get this made properly, it'll be a great sign for Cosmere adaptation news in the future! P.S. I would commit war crimes at this point if it meant getting a stormlight adaptation done properly.
I got your book in the mail and read it to my four year old son tonight. He keeps telling me how boring everything is. "Dad, sitting on this bed is really boring."
Hallo Brandon is there ever going to be a sequel to perfekt state? I realy liked this Short Story and always wonderd how the Story would continued I also wonderd if you are intrested in writting a novelization of the Infinitiv Blade games for those of us who were not able to play the games
This is what I am seeing as well on the FanX website. It is possible that Brandon made a mistake or was told one thing last week and then it was changed before FanX released the schedule this week. Hopefully there is some clarification given.
Speaking of merch, will the shirts on Dragonsteel's website ever be restocked? I've been waiting for the simplified Stormlight Archive symbol shirt for forever...
I'm so frustrated with Amazon. I pre ordered the book a month ago, and it won't be here until Monday. What's the point of a PRE order if it doesn't arrive day of?!
I don't know any other writer, aside from Sanderson, who has enough content to make weekly update about his works.
I was just thinking about this, every week there isnt a book release or other major event coming up I used to be like "huh, guess this will be a short update...*reads 10 minutes on the video timeline*"
Stephen King probably has enough but he’s a special case
There's another writer I follow who updates once every two to three years. So yeah, Brandon is quick.
What about George R.R. Martin?
Patrick Rothfuss manages to stream regularly while raging at anyone who asks about the progress of his work. Sort of the yin to Sanderson’s yang
Brandon,

About a month ago I decided for the first time in well over a decade to give it a go again and my sister had lended me a copy of The Final Empire many years ago.

Hard to put into words my thanks, but I am truly grateful to be alive at a time when I can read Brando Sando.
You have a marvellous mind.
This is the kind of thing that Brandon is all about.
I have ADHD too and last year I hyperfixated on the cosmere so much that i caught up! (I had only read Warbreaker, The Final Empire and the Well of Ascension the previous year)
I'm so glad you've been enjoying the Cosmere so far!
Awesome to hear! Glad we can enjoy it all together. I’m still quite amazed by the universe he’s been able to create.
Damn I don't have ADHD and I struggle to catch up with him lmao he writes faster than I read 😂
Measuring all my books by "(insert fraction) of a stormlight book" from now on 😂
very inaccurate measuring system, but Wheel of Time Longest book vs shortest SLA full novel is 1.03107 books long. Shortest wheel of time vs longest published SLA is .48 books long. (longest Lord of Chaos vs Way of kings, Shortest The Path of Daggers vs Rhythm of War until WAT is published. )
“I’m off for a week” Sounds like we’re getting secret novel #6

What is secret #5?
@@nathanefrat3747 isles of the ember dark, it is a sequel to sixth of dusk. It is a cosmere novel I think is coming out around January??
Love the Fire Emblem Victory Sound when Brandon announced the Moment Zero 100% progress
Ah thank you I was trying to place where I knew that sound from. XD
@@sandpirate1662 xD you are welcome
Now I need a Stormlight Fire Emblem game… lol jk
Thank you. I was like i know that song, what is it!!!!

I can smell you from here
WE NEED THE DOG AND THE DRAGON PICTURE BOOK!!!!
Great Idea
Brandon just casually dropping news that Snapshot will be a show soon
Yep, and coming from Fantasy News that happened a few hours ago where he was having a conspiracy about his adaptations made me laugh
He did mention on the last State of Sanderson that it's being worked on, so it's not like it's coming out of nowhere.
@@Colaman112 I seem to remember it was going to be a film from Universal, so it being changed to a tv show is what surprised me
Is there any news on when there will be a crowdfunding or whatever campaign for the signed editions of Wind and Truth. I remember Brandon mentioning once that they will sell a bundle like defiant maybe. Or they will do a crowdfunding campaign for it

Wish you hadn’t made the NFSW Navani pin, I want to display these. For gosh sakes, just cover her safehand.
Such blatant disrespect to the Vorin community. What a shame 😔
What I want to know is if these will go up on the store afterwards. I live in AU so I can't go to the event, but I must have a complete collection.
Oh, I didn't notice at first that her safe hand is... exposed! Maybe it is just a skin-tone glove?
Man I was like "what the hell he'd never makes something like that"
Great joke 😂
he says "novella" but it has the word count of both my novellas combined. what a madman. looking forward to moment zero!
I like the "one spotlight panel + a bunch of signing sessions" mode for cons, especially if the spotlight is streamed/recorded
Our copy of The Most Boring Book Ever was just delivered as we were watching this update. Couldn't have asked for better timing.
Today I finally got the first three books of the Stormlight Archive. Can't wait to dive in!
You're in for a treat! Way of Kings is a little slow to start because there's so much worldbuilding, but it's worth it!
My 8yr old daughter is reading your book right now...and she loves it!
The pins look amazing….except why does Navani not have her safe hand covered!?!?!
Just commented the same thing, the indecency is wild
Even Brandon himself can't remember Renaldo's name! 😂
I am so glad you are putting together a non-cosnere collection. All your writing is amazing and more people need to give it a chance! Hopefully the popularity of the Cosmere PLUS the ease of access of it all being in one volume will lead to more people getting into it now.

Brandon has done so many things for the first time in the book world. His a pioneer, and i hope his rememberd for it.😊
Man, I don't usually come after people's spelling on the internet, but pienier is just wonderful. It sparks joy.

@@kingcam0775 sorry😂😂 my whriting was preatty bad. I tride my best, pardon my spanish. Il fix it now.
I appreciate the reverse psychology marketing. Can't wait to grab a copy!
Snapshot is a great book! I'm happy to hear that the show is loving forward.
Edit: I need that Bridge 4 beanie! I see you dropping that right before it gets cold on the east coast 😉
Please eventually make a Bridge Four Trucker or Athletic hat. Never been a fan of flat brims or beanies
I second this!
Not to sound vorin but is Navani’s safehand supposed to be uncovered?
She's holding a fabrial, she has to be touching the gem. It's for science! Besides, she's in her private lab, alone, and nobody's going to barge in unannounced - unless it's Dalinar, in which case, making him embarrassedangryhorny is an extra bonus!
I just finished Wheel of Time for the first time on Sunday. I'm still recovering 😭
Started reading two months ago myself. Midway through book 6 right now.
It's a great series
Brando with the fresh drip today.
I just finished Way of Kings the other day, and I can safely say I'm already in love with the series and can't wait to read more!

Love the pins and the Snapshot talks🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don't see this merch on the store. I assume we have to wait til after FanX?
I assume so, I must have the complete collection of pins.
I'm really hoping Brandon rewites I Hate Dragons for the short story collection and includes Centrifugal as well.
Wind and Truth day 2 is like final chapters of previous books. I am too excited now.
Why are none of the comments mentioning the Snapshot television show announcement???
Some are I have now seen 4, just to encourage you
The Snapshot thing is amazing to hear!! I love that novella more than the average Sanderson fan seems to, and I was bummed when the movie fell through
Get some rest Captain, your voice sounds like youre about to get a cold. Love your work!
Cant wait to show the picture book to my future children.
The beanie and puzzle are so cool!
Brandon with a cool hat👍🏼
Bought The Most Boring Book Ever! Can’t wait to get my kids started on Sanderson!
In the future, we’ll be talking about how Brandon is to fantasy as Stan Lee was to Comics.
Will the Saturday event be streamed as well?
Excited to check out the deckbuilder! :) Thanks for the news, Brandon! :)
I gotta say that hat bestowed you with +99 swag, maybe you and Dan can do a swagg'ed out episode of Intentionally blank ;)
Still crossing my fingers for that White Sand rewrite, just not big into graphic novels :)

Brandon! You have to run a campaign as dungeon master and live stream it when your comes out. There's no way that's not happening.
I'm looking forward someday to playing The Most Bored Game Ever.
I’ll be at the stream at 8pm Eastern! Been wondering how this turned out.
Yaaaay
Isn’t the beanie the Shash brand? Not Bridge 4?
Cannot wait for my Oathbringer leatherbound to arrive 😁 been waiting eagerly since I first saw the backerkit and i just want my goodies now 😂
what about way of kings? the one I read could definitely be described as a picture book lol congrats Lord Brando
Welcome back beard, welcome back

Are flat brim hats a gen z thing? I thought those peaked in like 2010?
One week closer to White Sand
Took me too long to figure out why he was dunking on his own book. Turns out that’s the title of the book lol.
Book tour at all possible? Kids would love to see you, but can’t get to Utah.
