the hardest truth about brandon sanderson

Cosmic horror brought to you by #brandonsanderson

[DanielGreeneReviews]

But did you watch EVERY live stream? EVERY lecture? If so you’re not even a real fan!

[capitalofcambrom]

When Sanderson tells a journalist he's 12% done writing a book, there's a good chance he'll be at 15% by the end of the interview.

[SupremeDP]

"I've written five extra novels in secret!" brings this to a whole new level of meme.

[ADHDlanguages]

The most fucked up part is that his work life balance is completely fine.

[gavink]

Shhhh! Did you hear that? It was faint but no matter where you are in the world; you can always hear the taps and clicks of a computer as Sanderson writes.

[conormeehan.]

“It’s going really well”
Has written more in one week than *some* fantasy author has in 9 years, ten months and 5 days

[UdyKumra]

You’re not a real fan until you’ve done two rereads and memorized all the viewpoint characters in chronological order of birth

[samanthaa.]

Sanderson should just have something on his site that says IS BRANDON WRITING? And says yes or no to make us all feel bad

[shelfenthusiast]

brandon sanderson writes in his sleep, on vacation, spending time with his kids, hell even at his own wedding he was writing

[marylowrie]

It's important to remember that he's not a one-man show. There's dozens of people besides Brandon who contribute to his writing process in various ways. He's said so before. Beta readers, continuity people, illustrators, editors, agents, etc. Without them, he likely wouldn't be so productive.

2010 : last year I re read all of Brandon Sandersons books over the summer. It was great

2030: last year I read all of Brandon Sandersons books. I started Jan 1st as a new years resolution, quit my job to fit it in, read 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and I only just finished on the 28th of December with hours to go...

[pisoprano]

He’s actually being chased by a phantom cubicle and if it catches him not writing enough, he’ll have to become an insurance actuary.

[joonas.roosalu]

It's funny that while brando sando believes in God, he writes at such a pace to make you lose any faith whatsoever

[stormblessed]

Clearly the only reason Sanderson finished the Wheel of Time was to massively increase the size of his fans tbr.

[arturocaissut]

I love how a couple of days ago Sanderson posted a video in which he basically says "The Covid lockdown gave me some extra time at home, so I accidentally wrote four new novels". He's a psycho.

[whakabuti]

I have to be honest, Brandon Sanderson isn't my favourite author (largely because I feel his language could be better) but he is certainly the author for whom I have the greatest respect. If Rothfuss or Martin had half Sanderson's work ethic they would likely not be as stressed out as they are now. Sanderson's discipline and genuine humility make him a rare jewel.

[XCatherine]

You haven’t memorized the first 4 books of the Stormlight Archive? *scoffs*

[matthewhendricks]

As a good Vorin man, I cannot read at all

[hope_youhaveagoodday]

Ah yes, Brandon Sanderson. The only author who was probably writing stuff before he was even conceived.

[amaristudios]

The one dislike is from the only person who can somehow read faster than Brandon can write
