Why don't you research that question?

Ookla I'm more than happy to discuss this with you but perhaps we should do it in a more private location…if you start a thread and send me the link i will gladly talk with you.

depends on your definition of "lived." Some authors have military, law enforcement, or journalism backgrounds that help with their writing. others have their personal studies or hobbies. some have religion or travels. the point is, everyone can draw on something to have ideas. ideas are a dime-a-dozen. the kicker is how good of a writer are you...
That's something I've never thought of before but it makes perfect sense. I'd say Robert Jordan was good at military themed-writing, Brandon Sanderson writes a lot about religion

Hmmm... Seems we underestimated on magic systems. In that blog post ookla linked Brandon said well over twenty magic systems. That's got to be the most insane number I've ever heard.

I'm really excited for the release of Way of Kings, but I'm also sad to see that Scribbler is being put off at least until 2012. :( I love that book.

Did you read all of Scribbler? I mean, it is incredibly awesome, but I'd be surprised at such a fervent reaction just from the sample chapters.

Yeah, I read the whole thing, and provided at least a few pages worth of feedback on it. xP

Well, that explains some things. On top of all that, he'll probably have some work related to the Mistborn RPG, making sure that it's all canonically correct if nothing else.

Ofcourse he needs to write some of his own stuff and not only WoT! Good luck Brandon! I'm looking forward to read WoK :)

  Either way, in order to give this a try, I've hired a full-time assistant, Peter Ahlstrom, to do all the things in a day that normally take my time away from writing/revising.

We're counting on you, Ookla!
