    Just how does Sanderson put out books after books. Its insane its like he is a machine. He just can't stop writing books. You would think the quality would suffer from writing so much but he keeps getting better with each book he writes. He's literally the most successful author now seeing his recent kickstarter hit 50million without anyone knowing what they're buying. With the cosmere adaptations taking place next year won't be suprised if he ends up as popular as JKR.

    I don't read his works because I don't have a lot of time, but I'm pretty sure the trick is to just write what you like writing, and then it's fun, so it doesn't really feel like a challenge.

    He basically treats it as a job and has the personal discipline to stuck to that commitment.

    Sanderson got nothing compared to Megamatt in terms of output.

    My theory is that he takes forever to write the books, but then sends them backwards in time to his younger self.
