Appreciation For Writers....
I just finished some net surfing.. And I just found out that my favourite author :
Robert Jordan, or his real name James Oliver Rigney Jr. has actually passed away during the year 2007..
Now I was actually quite shocked to learn that.. Very shocked.. You can say that his Wheel of Time Series means to me what Harry Potter Series means to some... A lot... Maybe a lot more even. Given the choice of picking between Harry Potter and The Wheel of Time Series, without a doubt I'd say I pick The Wheel of Time over Harry Potter... That is not to say I dislike Harry Potter.. I like Harry Potter.. But that is just my way of conveying my sense of which stands higher in my regard...
I was quite relieved to learn that another writer would be taking the reins of the Wheel of Time Series... "Why?" You ask?? Simple... The Wheel of Time Series isn't complete yet.. Far from it... As no doubt any avid follower would attest from the storyline... It seems that the new writer was chosen by former author's widow... That would lend some weight to his credibility.. Most widows would like to honour their late husband's or wife's greatest endeavour... As for me, I can't give any comments due to the lack of reading materiel on the new author's writings.. Maybe I'll give his novels a try if he do justice to Robert Jordan's endeavour..
Anyway, I just surfed his blog to check out his take on his newest endeavour... And seriously, I was humbled by the amount of effort expended on books.... Be they writing or publishing... I never thought about the effort needed to put a single book on the bookshelf of a bookstore.. And I doubt most you did either... Seriously, the new author is already burdened with his own books.. And to think that he was nervous of the reactions of fans of the series towards his decision regarding the remaining books.. as for me, this is what I have to say towards him...
BRANDON SANDERSON, REGARDLESS OF OTHER FANS, ONE FAN HERE SUPPORTS YOUR EFFORTS AND THANKS YOU FOR IT....
This series was one of the series that defined my life n reading habits.. This series was the catalyst that helped me develop my speed reading skills, n by extension, my fast typing skills... So having someone complete it, I'd say is as big a boon I could have, especially since I've been waiting for some news about it for quite some time now....
Thats all for now...
