Shaggy: I'd say his website would be a better bet.

The blog entry will be where his blog entries normally are: His website, livejournal, etc.

Anyway I'm excited because this will be the first huge, epic series I read from the very beginning!
Yeah, it's quite a different experience. I'm not sure I ever have and stuck with it. I read Cherryh's Foreigner when it first came out, but only got four or five books in and now I'm like 7 books behind.

That's one reason, though, why authors write long series—years down the road, when someone gets hooked on it, they go out and buy all the rest. Many standalones just get their hardback and paperback runs and then go out of print.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I was up half the night checking TwitterFon on my phone over and over waiting for an update on this.  I also kept checking my RSS reader on my phone as well.  Ha ha.  I should have known soon didn't mean within the same day. . . . silly me.

Ookla - Thanks for looking out for us. Maybe brandon just wants to draw out the anticipation of The Way of Kings for us. Or maybe I just got myself too excited when I saw him Twit about WoK.  ;D

I'm hoping he'll post the update before he heads off to Nebraska this week, but if he's not ready to make any announcements then I suppose I can wait a little longer.

Don't we all, miyabi? Don't we all?

Anyway, Brandon said he wrote up his Way of Kings post and didn't like it, so he has to rework it a bit before it goes live.

Coolness.  I can't wait for that post.

Is Scribbler coming out the year after Alcatraz 5 or is it coming otu at some other time?  (sorry for the off topic)

That is probably the earliest it can possibly come out, but there are no guarantees it would even come out then.

Not at all, and Brandon won't even start until the first book has a home.

Dude! Me too! I'm psyched. While I love stand-alone novels; I have an obsessive personality, so I love being able to grasp onto a series because there is more material to obsess about.
ANYWAY - SO EXCITED!!
