Brandon Sanderson announces 120 more secret novels

[@CEWThree]

"I've written 5 extra novels in the past 2 days" is maybe the best cut

[@thosava]

What about: «80 or 90 secret books instead of over a hundred»?

Reading one sanderson book to your grandchildren would already be a large undertaking lol. Even mistborn book 1 is over 200,000 words, unless you're reading to them every night for 5 hours that's gonna take a while. What a serious commitment you've got haha

I was disappointed by the relative restraint with the explosions, but "secret book" 5-6 times in a row was a worth substitute. Humor aside, you did a brilliant job editing this. I know exactly how hard it can be to clip audio of people talking like that, and I have mad respect for how long it must've taken you to get it all just right.

[@MarkusAldawn]

Honestly this is so surreal because i love Sanderson's work but I just haven't been paying attention to what he's been doing since Quarantine started, when I got ill summer of 2019 and devoured all of the Stormlight Archive books while laying beside the toilet. The juxtaposition between my physical and mental states was truly remarkable. If you told me this man had written eight bibles worth of novels since that week spent blearily prying my eyes open to shove more Sanderson into my mind, I'd believe you. I'm also pretty sure I heard Sanderson read me a plot revision to do with Pattern originally being evil in my head around day three, one that as far as I can tell, I simply made up. So at this point I'd believe just about anything, including the idea that Sanderson will be releasing eight books per hour until his demands (more books) are met.
