How'd you like that last line? It's one of my favorites of the series. "The world would forget Dumai's Wells in what was coming." Sends chills down my spine.

The title of the ACoS Prologue is "Lightnings" not "The First Message" which was the title of the LoC Prologue.

I've been loving your summaries. You might want to add more of what you think instead of so heavily summarizing what happened in the chapter, but I've been happy with them so far. Some chapters you just don't have a strong feeling for what's happening, it happens.

Elaida's Foretelling might not turn out how you expect. You're so lucky that you're reading the series at a point where so much of this stuff has been answered. Waiting to see a lot of this stuff come to fruition over the past 11 years has been exhausting.

In response to your questions about the blog:

You're doing this on your own time for our enjoyment, I'm happy with whatever works for you in terms of formatting/detail. That being said, I did vote for greater elaborations on each chapter, but that's just because I love to read blogs like these; I'd be perfectly happy with the same format that you're using right now too. TBH, there are many chapters where there really isn't anything interesting to elaborate on, so it's not like there's any material there for you to work with anyway.

As to what I think after 6 books: I think that it's pretty damn awesome that you're still writing this thing. I honestly expected you to stop writing them about maybe the 4th or 5th book, I know I would have. I don't have anything in the way of criticism that readily comes to mind either. Just keep doing what you're doing

Demos, I like your blogs. I usually read them as soon as the new piece gets posted.

I have only one wish: try to be more predictable with when the next blog will be coming, or at least keep us updated. If you say that the next piece should be coming in a few days and it's two weeks instead, that's alright, but wouldn't it be possible to login just once and notify us? :)

Maybe you could write it on your message wall?

Sevanna is referring to a 'call box' that was given to her in the Prologue of LoC by a mysterious wetlander. She was supposed to use it when she had Rand Al'Thor captive. We learn more about what this is about later.

Foretellings are both a blessing and a curse.

I've done the accidental delete thing myself when I did a similar blog on my read of A Song of Ice and Fire. I also had several misspellings and typos too. Eventually I got wise and started typing in a Word document and then copy and pasting them when I went to post them. That also helped with the spelling as Word had a spell check. If you don't have Word, and are using Windows, you will most likely have Wordpad which will do basically the same thing,

Dude we have come this far reading your blogs. You can say that you & the readers have formed some sort of a connection & like others have mentioned, its always great to see your reaction. We all want you to see writing these blogs till the last novel that has released till date. The only thing I want is that there is not a very big delay between your consecutive blogs. Besides that, you are doing a gr8 job.

Where the make it daily option?

But yeah this works well giving the 1st time Point of View. Let the people who read the series 5 times make elaborate reviews. Keep up the good work.

What ever works best for you mate. Like sleeper said sometimes there isn't much to elaborate on in every chapter. With this being your first time through, no one expects you to catch every subtle litte thing RJ sliped into these books. Thats for all of us who have been through these books multiple times to figure out. More posts would be nice but we all just apreciate you putting these posts out here for us to read.

Thanks for all the responses. Part of the reason I have not done it daily is because I didn't always get 5-6 chapters in. So my next question is; I could probably do a daily blog of 2-3 chapters, would that work? They may not always be as long, but if I'm only doing a couple chapters I could do a better write up overall and not have to worry about rushing things. It probably would also help so I don't get too far ahead in my readings. Also, it's a lot easier going into writing the updates knowing I only have to do 2 chapters, verses 6.

I will say this, though. I coach football on the HS level so there will be some days I have no choice in missing (Friday nights for example). At least you would then get a daily dose of things (for the most part). I may try that for now and see how it works out, assuming there aren't many people who hate this idea.

So going along with that, I have some good news/bad news. From now on, my goal is to try to get you guys a daily update, or at the worst every other day. It'll be no less then 2 chapters, but most likely no more then 6. Most my reading comes at night, so no matter how much I want to keep going, I risk having the next day be hell trying to stay awake. The bad news is I won't be able to get a write-up in tonight. Some family issues came up and I barely have time to respond here.

I'll respond to more specific comments when I get a chance, and I will definitely get a blog in tomorrow (I "could" have had something for you tonight, but there is still one more chapter I need to get in. Plus some editing and looking over).

Doing something every day will also help in me being able to have less grammatical errors. For those who do notice it and voted on more revising, please send me a private message with things I have wrong. Whether it be each day after an update or in past blogs. It'll help me in the future to catch things.

Thanks again! It definitely is tough keeping up with the blog and I've thought about stopping it more than once. I do enjoy seeing your comments, though, and they help out more than you can imagine in understanding what's going on. Just keep responding and telling me to keep going and my guilt won't let me stop until we've finished.

p.s. I do get on the forums almost everyday, so I will definitely let you all know if there are any updates/changes as to when a blog will come in from now on.

I'm loving the blogs, Demos - don't stress yourself out with it, but doing fewer chapters more often would be awesome. And count me among the ones who appreciate that you've kept with it. I love seeing a first time reader's take on something that I've read several times now. I've also been trying to keep slightly ahead of where you're at in my re-read so the story is fresh in my mind when I see your comments.

I like that you include a recap but also your thoughts - questions that occur to you (some of which we can answer without serious spoilers), things that stand out as important, stuff that you may suddenly realize was foreshadowed in earlier books, etc. That's my favorite part :)
