Rants and Stuff / Do Mormons tick you off?
« on: August 22, 2008, 10:27:24 PM »
Is it just me, or is generally all Mormons mean spirited, angry people who criticize others? LOL (don't ban me).

"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Brandon Sanderson / Congraduations Mr. Sanderson!!!!!
« on: August 22, 2008, 09:55:56 PM »
I read your Warbreaker version that was available for download from mnybks.net. I believe it is a version 4 or a version 4.something. Despite the spelling mistakes, it was interesting. Perhaps the beginning portion or so was a little lower for me to stay hooked, but then I got hooked later on. Great twist about Bluefingers, and great move by Lightsong. Anyways, congraduations, Mr. Sanderson. Bravo. I suppose this read, I felt more emotion than your first Mistborn book. Harray for you!
If you can answer this question, then please do. How many hours of work do you estimate you spent on the first draft, and other subsequent drafts? I am inspired to want to be an author just like you! Maybe I will be the next Dan Brown, too!!!

Writing Group / Are tehre any computer programs that auto write stuff for you?

Maybe a random generator, that you specify the basic synopsis and it automatically fills it in up to the page length you desire to complete a book with characters and plot twists you specify? And maybe run a million of those processes, and the best version you create, you send to see if publishers will buy? Anyone know?

Brandon Sanderson / MR. BRIAN SANDERSON (please read)

Mr. BRIAN SANDERSON.
I got your Mistborn book for free Mr. Sanderson. And I read it. I got it from the TOR promotion both on the Kindle and on the website. It was good. It was good. I also downloaded your Warbreaker book.
I am wondering if you got any plans on releaseing the current version of Warbreaker on the Amazon Kindle, for free download. That would be cool.
Anyways, Mr. Sanderson, your Warbreaker book isn't perfect. And I think I saw someone on Wikipedia that suggested to me that you are Mormon...
What I want to ask is Mr. Sanderson, is being a writer good income? Like can you estimate on average imcome per year for a writer as good as yoiurself? Is it livable?
I don't know if I will read the second book of yours because of some reviews I read on Amazon regarding it. Is the third book any good, and if it is better than the second and first, does the second need to be read to understand the third?
In addition, about your books and belivability. Some people have criticized Dan Brown books because they are far fetched and unbelivable. I am wondering if you understand the physical properties of elements such as metals. I may not be a professional chief, but I believe metals melt, not burn. And wouldn't ingesting metals, even pure, be bad for the body? And what about other metals? Is silver supposed to be atrium? What about platanium? Will there be more metals in third book? How about a rare nuclear fissure metal, that blows up Iran or something?
