The food was good, but the conversation was better. Some spoilers may or may not have been discussed, as we had decided as a group beforehand that we wanted to talk about TGS at the brunch, as we knew we wouldn’t be able to do that at the signing. As it happened, the majority of us had finished the book by then (courtesy of the snowstorm canceling school and work for three days), or were

First of all, thank you to everyone who has repsonded to the news and blog posts in regards to Robert Jordan's announcement about his Amyloidosis diagnosis. It just proves that his readership is full of caring individuals.
I've spoken a little more with RJ about what's going on. Here's what he said:
We leave for the Mayo in Rochester on 1 April, to make for an easy trip. My first appointment, for some testing, isn't until [a few days later]. I'll be there for 6 to 8 weeks, dependin
We've received two reports so far from people who attended the book signing in West Chester, PA today. The first one came from Jennifer:
Thanks for the full report, Jennifer, and for the pictures. And kudos to whoever it was that started the happy birthday song for RJ. I wonder if our news article that reminded them, or just a very attentive fan?
The second report comes from Zach, who gave us this tidbit, and plans to send an audio clip of the event. Check back here soon to

Because we have this new server that seems to be running so well, I thought it would be nice to give you guys an increase in our Community Gallery. The previous quota was 1 MB per user. That has now been increased to 10 MB per user. Plenty of room to upload a nice-sized collection of images "celebrating our community and The Wheel of Time".
Enjoy
It's that time of year again to begin accepting submissions for the Dragonmount Anthology.
Before I get into details about this one let me inform you that the first one has NOT been forgotten. We have the final formatting done and we only await cover art. Now that we have the process down, I hope that this one will not take nearly as long to get published.
Short Story Submissions should be from 7,500 to 20,000 words. Any Wheel of Time fan fiction will be rejected with out ever being

Brandon Sanderson updated his site today with some of his most frequently asked questions since the recent news that he would be completing A Memory of Light.
He gives a good description of what writing AMoL feels like to him.
