You build the world, you build the history, you build an outline, and then you carefully tread forward. I've heard Jordan originally expected to do it in three books, then in six. RJ and TG may have had an agreement or something where TG waits till RJ finished before starting. If that were the case, TG may have waited till it became obvious RJ wasn't going to finish any time soon. Who really knows and who is really going to admit it.
You can't plagiarize ideas. And borrowing ideas isn't immoral, either.
terry goodkind: I wasn't ready to start writing until I was 45. When I wrote “Wizard's First Rule”, I was ready. (born 1948)
I've heard Jordan ... "In the beginning, I truly thought it was going to be four or five books,"; "When I finished 'The Eye of the World,' I thought I had a good chance of doing it in six."
RJ and TG may have had an agreement You have a wonderful imagination
