    Lil' Blue

    Have you read all 80 threads about when the book is coming out?

    Will Wight

    I think so. I try to read everything, except for Discord channels other than this one.

    Footnote: This is referring to Ghostwater.

    Secret Agent Book Theif

    Terry Goodkind says that reading other people's books is bad because it influences your writing. Would you say you have been negatively influenced by the writings of your students while you were teaching intro to creative writing? Or any other work for that matter?

    Will Wight

    I would...strongly disagree.   I would strongly disagree with many of the other things Terry Goodkind has said as well.

    If Lindon had a magic encyclopedia with every single Path/Territory/Awakened Weapon/miscellaneous magic powers throughout all the Iterations, which one would most interest him?

    Will Wight

    I don't have the mental energy to answer that right now, unfortunately, because it's an interesting question. I'm releasing a book, so my MP is 0.

    Your Benevolent Dictator

    Do our constant questions annoy you?

    Will Wight

    Not these, no. But I get some questions multiple times a day for which I've already provided an answer, and those irritate me. Like all the people who ask if there will be another book in the Cradle series or if I'm done writing them.

    Given the choice of drinking a hot Gatorade on a hot day, or a chilled Gatorade on a freezing day, what is the air speed velocity of a unladen swallow?  

    Will Wight

    African or European?

    Tievel

    This would be a longer one, but any chance we could (someday) get a primer on how and why "internal" vital aura aspects operate differently than others? Such as blood and dream aura, which non-blood/dream madra shouldn't be able to affect, but the spirit somehow defends against Ruler techniques of them since Blood artists can't go around giving Lords heart attacks willy nilly.

    Will Wight

    Maybe someday?

    Hi Will. I wasn't able to comment on your blogpost, but tell all those folks at Hidden Gnome that they're my heroes

    Will Wight

    Will do, Tievel! Thanks!     They're the ones who flog me into productivity.

    Tievel

    That's what makes them my heroes. And apparently it helps your productivity to boot, so even better

    And guys really, a blog post on the 1st of April? Will's posts are already insanity on a regular basis, imagine the kind of shit he would have to pull off on the 1st of April

    Will Wight

    I have done April Fools Day posts in the past, and I enjoy them, but I don't do them every year. Doing it well takes some thought and time, plus someone always takes it seriously. I did an April Fools short story called "House of Cool Swords" that was a parody of House of Blades, and some people still emailed me breaking down why they didn't like my new style.

    Question for Will: Are you planning any stories on iterations outside of abidan control? You hinted at a few in one of Suriels chapters, the ones about creatures capable of killing Ozriel, but we have not truly seen any.     (Personally, at first I thought amalgam was outside, until told otherwise. It seemed chaotic with the territories and Valin making one)

    Will Wight

    Yes!

    Puppet Master

    if a Sacred Artist used a technique enough in life, is it possible for that technique to be transfered through the bonding of their remnant?

    Will Wight

    Yes, and this was one of the three reasons for bindings being a thing.

    1.) So that sacred artists can inherit techniques from the spirits of their fallen masters/predecessors.

    2.) So that Soulsmiths can use techniques as materials.

    3.) So that rivals on similar/compatible Paths could potentially kill someone possessing a remarkable technique and steal that technique.
