Brian Sanderson Blog entry Posted on 06.29.08


At the request of Tor, I did a quick trip down to LA on Saturday to make an appearance at ALA. (The American Library Association's annual conference.) I didn't get to stay long, though the highlight of the experience was being on a panel with Vernor Vinge, Eric Flint, and Cory Doctorow. We each spoke for a short time on information, science fiction and fantasy, and the future of information technology. I felt totally out-classed to be speaking with such great authors. If you haven't tried Eric or Cory's books, you can find them for free on the websites I linked above. Vernor doesn't have any free downloads that I know of, but I consistently list his book A FIRE UPON THE DEEP as one of my favorite all-time novels. I highly recommend it, or anything he's written.

Despite the speed of the trip, I did manage to get a little bit of work done on the Warbreaker rewrite while sitting in my hotel room. I should be able to finish the 5.0 off this week, then post it. That's the draft where I make line/paragraph level edits at my editor's request. After that, I'll do another read through of it and draft 6.0, where I'll make more over-arching changes. After that, back to Wheel of Time.

I'm going to TRY to find time to type out my ALA speech and post it on my website. We'll see....
