Honestly, with a proper editor to keep him on schedule and focused on telling the real story instead of constantly adding extra subplots, Jordan probably could have finished in at most 10 books, perhaps even 8, and been done before his disease killed him.

Derail, but Wife as Editor... Editor does bad job dragging out books to 12... Jordan receives more cash for 12 books than 8... Wife knows he's terminal... Wife extends books to 12 to milk cash cow when RJ kicks bucket..
