Sounds like the Black tower showdown to me.

Doing some reading in Crossroads of Twilight to catch up on something I need for the chapter I'm writing tonight. Let the speculation begin.    34 minutes ago  via Twadget 

 

My guess.... The Dark Hounds that were passing Perrin in the night and heading south?

I think something to do with Mat.

I was going to say Shadar Haran, but he already used SH in tGS so he must be familiar enough with him without having to reread the CoT scene.

Wait I don't remember him in TGS, what did he do?

 

 

[Morsker]

He freed Semirhage and taught Elza weaves to get around wards.

Interesting...

 

#    Done. Whew. Last new writing on the book for a while, probably a week or 2. Four or five scenes remaining. Must revise/prepare first.    12 minutes ago  via Twadget

 

# This chapter is starting to work now. Last one I'll write before turning to a chunk of revisions. about 3 hours ago via Twadget

I really should stop reading this thread. everytime I see an update (even if I've already seen it direct on Twitter) I let out an audible squee.

In the middle of my university library.

when I really should be revising for my exam in 5 hours.

Can someone illuminate me on this charity thing?  I seem to have missed something...

[Shard]

There was a charity auction before tGS came out and all those who contriubuted get a chance to have their name in the books.

Progress bar ticked up to 90% this morning.  Two strong golf claps!

[jadelollipop]

on facebook he stated he was moving the progress bar to 90%  He has 5 more scenes to write and "a TON of revision"

[TheBeerPatriot]

From Brandon's last Twitter post:

Okay, spellcheck done, revisions sent in to Team Jordan. Things are looking very good for the TofM deadlines.

 

I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it...

[azrael.1289]

He seems to be working 24X7 last few days...lol

And he's back to writing new stuff (that's how I interpret when he puts names in the text). Also, what's the cool thing on the website which he promises us for tomorrow?

A new "Stormlight Archive" portal?

 

As for the new names I hope they indicate he needed fodder for battles! 8)

The ToM countdown clock suddenly went ahead and added an extra week to itself today suggesting the book won't be out now until Nov 2. I haven't been able to find anything to support this. It's not such a big difference that it changes much, but it's weird that there wasn't an announcement.

Actually, adding new names doesn't necessarily mean he's writing new stuff.  BS has said he goes through previously written stuff and adds names later during the editing process...  He leaves some sort of name placeholder until editing.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble, but all of his most recent tweets seem to indicate that he's still heavily editing.

[Kadere]

What clock?

 

This one: http://www.counto.com/page/torbooks You can find it posted on Macmillian's website along with encyclopaedia-wot, ToM's Tor page, and countless other websites certainly.

I noticed that on tor-forge.com, but also noticed they're still listing a 10/26/10 release date? Honestly, if it's bumped up a week that's fine.  But based on everything we're seeing through Brandon's Twitter feed, he looks on target for his deadlines and for the 10/26 release.

Lastest update :)

 

Nine more chapters to revise this time through. Hopefully, they aren't all as tough as this last one.
