And the artwork is featured prominently, but it’s less about the concept art and more about the “here is the paintings of some of the characters,” along with talking about them and things like that. I was thinking something more like what we see having existed in The Wheel of Time and Song of Ice and Fire worlds, where it’s more a guidebook to the world, almost kind of in world, where there is artwork and also text. That is what Isaac was thinking that people want when they say, “art book.” It is new pieces of art, but also concept art for the world, showing some of the original concept art that I got commissioned, and that sort of thing, and a big kind of coffee table book of the art of the Stormlight Archive. This is showing behind-the-scenes sketches and how they became finished art. So the idea is that you could choose between art book that kind of is focused on the art entirely. Maybe, depending on how it works, we would do a Kickstarter on it. We’re looking at the gap in between, probably 2025. And our goal would be to be releasing this, like, not till like 2025, or something like 2024, somewhere in there, because the next Stormlight book is 2023. So I’m going to lay out for you three different art books. There are a couple of different styles of art book that we could do.” And we’re not sure what you guys actually want. The thing is, Isaac went and did some research, and he came back and said, “All right. It also means you’ll get a Stormlight something in between books 5 and 6, where there’s going to be a gap as I’m writing the next Mistborn trilogy. So having that book come out then is a good idea. We would do a Stormlight focused art book.” And it’s a good place for it because the first five books, as I’ve said before, are kind of one arc, and when we come back it’ll be 10 years later in world. It’s one of the more common things I get asked, to the point that I went to Isaac, my art director, and said, “Maybe it’s time to start thinking about this, that we would release it after Stormlight 5. One of the things that I’ve been asked about a lot is if we will do any art books based on the Stormlight or on the Cosmere. So I think you guys are going to enjoy this. I’ve had lots of fun with the characters already. I’m just very, very pleased with the way the book is looking right now. And so you can follow along and see how that is going. I am targeting getting done by August 1st. It’ll be ticking up at around 1% equaling around 1,500 words for that reason. And so that’s why I’m putting the percentage bar ticking up the way it is. I know you guys will be so sad if it does. Now, I’m worried this book might go long. And so having hit around 2,000 each day and then a little bit more on Wednesday says that I am really on a good track, I feel, for finishing this book. And I usually write faster at the end of the book and slower at the beginning. I want to get around 2,500 average a day, but that’s going to be average across multiple months. I have had three very solid days of writing. This is an exciting one because I have been writing on the new Wax and Wayne book, and I am 7,000 words into it.
