Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time

[Hachima]

Scheduled for publication by Tor Books in early 2009 [1], it was intended to conclude the series, which began in 1990 with The Eye of the World. On September 16, 2007, Robert Jordan died from amyloidosis.[2] Before his death, Jordan stated "I'm getting out notes, so if the worst actually happens, someone could finish A Memory of Light and have it end the way I want it to end." The decision to posthumously complete the book has been left to his wife Harriet and Tor Books president Tom Doherty.[1]

Robert Jordan repeatedly said that the main sequence would have concluded with this book. He stated at a 2005 book-signing event that it was not possible for him to write two more coherent books in The Wheel of Time series, and that the twelfth book would therefore conclude the series. [3] More recently, at ComicCon 2006, Jordan said he would "finish the story in one more book even if it takes 1500 pages hardcover."

Margaret Weiss could probably do it sufficiently well. In fact, despite a lot of dreck she's put out, I think she could probably do it better than Jordan.

Especially since she'll actually make use of an editor.

Forget about writing a book and leaving a legacy or completing your magnum opus that you've devoted a large amount of your life to.

Go fuck some random hot bitches a couple times before you keel over.

PS An attitude like this is why you and most people living will never do anything important in their entire lives.

Why must someone do something "important" in their life? Does it matter when you are dead? The banging hos thing was just an example, me I would spend time with my family and make sure that everyone important and relevant knew that they are so.

So you write that book and become the best author ever, does it mean anything? Does God come over and pat you on the head and say good job? Seriously, who fucking cares.

You sound like one of those guys that ignores his wife to discover a cure for her cancer only to realize she fell out of love with you a long time ago. Deal with the now retard.

P.S. lay on me what you are doing that's important, or shut the fuck up hypocrite.

Does your family matter when you are dead? Or how about 50 years after you died when your great grandchildren know you as 'that guy from the picture with my dad' and don't even get your name right half the time?

Meanwhile humanity is still learning, and meeting, and trying to understand writers that have been dead for hundreds of years.

The whole point of writing is to say something, about you, about how you see the world, about the human experience, and to do so past death, so that even when you're gone something of you remains.

Most successful writers tend to be terrible people. I am fine with them having a bad family life and then gifting us with works of art that will outlast them.

Yeah but in a trillion years the heat death of the universe will end all existence, sooo, live in the now. Do what you want. Don't worry about your "legacy" because eventually nobody will give a damn anyway.

If you WANT to write great books, then great. If you don't, then great.

Let me guess, you're about 16 years old?

And do you have a reply that matters?

And Robert Jordan will be one of those authors? The writers you speak of are few and far between, and even more importantly(sadly?) being forgotten. Compare someone who had to read Shakespeare in 50s as opposed to someone in today's schooling system. Shit I would be surprised if you walked into a highschool and 50% even know the guy's name. Regardless, do what is important to YOU. This was in response to people hating on him for not writing on his death bed.

It's not such of a stretch. During Shakespeare's time, he was considered a vulgar idiot who wrote in the common tongue, making simple entertainment with no depth.

No, it would be a waste of time. You will realize your ignorance when you're older.

That's an assumption and, ergo, you will realize your ignorance when you are older.

Too bad he is dead... I Really wish the new author ( whoever it is ) would come out and say that he/she is going to finish the series in a certain time period. Who ever it is had a lot of shit to do...

Moraine is still lost where only Matt can save him
Tarmon'Gaidin
Rand needs to torture the bitch who blew his hand off
Cadsuane needs to reveal the earth shattering secret
Rand needs to kill Nyaeve ( I swear I wanted to strangle the bitch everytime I heard she was tugging at her breads)

And many more, and to finish it all in a single book while not changing the writing style around dramatically ( Hai2u waste of time 200 page chapters of useless info ).
