How does Brandon Sanderson write so much?

This last week Brandon Sanderson launched what quickly became the MOST SUCCESSFUL Kickstarter OF ALL TIME!!! Five new novels, all on top of what he was committed to writing over the past two years!!! In this video I look into what makes Sanderson such a prolific writer.

Watching this, Asimov came to mind as well.

This was so very helpful! Thanks. Now I have to work on building habits of discipline and consistency, as well as creating an organisation schedule. Something that is completely foreign to me who has always done things chaotically, last minute. Appreciate the sharing of information 😊

Backed the kickstarter too! Loved the analysis on how he's able to be such a prolific writer! The power of habits and batching!

This is really good. I think we all know that organisation and discipline is the secret sauce to getting a lot done, but its so normalised for writers to shrug off procrastination as creativity. It IS, but we don't often turn this into deliberate chunks of active writing time.

What a gem. Thanks for the great reminder and reporting on this guy’s secret to consistency.

I’m living on my own at the moment but I’m prepping a structure to anticipate and adapt to life changes in the future - parenthood, marriage, etc.

I just got back into video games (Fortnite) because of friends and now I’m trying to put it in its place time-wise. 😂

Great vid Keli!

I don’t even read other fantasy authors anymore. Not only does he have great output but the books he writes are better than everyone else.
