I know you all think I'm freakishly fast, but the truth is that even if I can get this book in on time, it will be two and half years between Stormlight releases. Thank you for putting up with the delayed pace of Stormlight releases. I anticipate this book moving well in the coming months my outline is solid, my enthusiasm high, and I will finally get to write some scenes I've been planning for over a decade now. Also, expect the wordcount to shrink as I do revisions. I still anticipate the finished novel being about the length of the other two Dalinar's flashbacks will simply eat a little into his other narrative. At fifteen chapters and 55k (rough draft) they're significantly longer than the other two sequences-I had a lot more to cover in them. I'm doing a revision on these Dalinar scenes right now, and I'm very pleased with them. We'll see-I have a tour for the new Mistborn book, as well as several weeks in the UK, coming up. At this rate, though, I should be finishing the book sometime between December and February. The complexity of the worldbuilding and the narrative structure require extra attention and detail. That's slow for me (a better rate is around 3,000 words) but Stormlight is difficult to write. I'm working at about 2,000 words a day on average. I'd be happy to revisit this topic once you all have a chance to read the novel. The reasoning for this is something I can't discuss in detail until the book is released. Therefore, I'm proceeding with the Dalinar/Szeth flip. I consider the experiment of writing his flashbacks for this book, instead of waiting for book five, to be a success. As someone else has posted, I have finished the rough draft of Dalinar's flashbacks for Stormlight Three.
