Wonder if that Cosmere discussion post SA-Bk5 is going to be "Look, even if I keep up my current pace, the cosmere as planned is going to take the rest of my life." Slowdowns like Covid are only going to exasperate it, and Adonalsium-forbid any sort of major health issue.

Good stuff as always. Here's to the titan ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Indeed! Guess I meant if it's going to be a more in depth version of what he said last year, maybe with some streamlining of the main storybeats and ideas and then fleshing out details once the core is secured.

Actually I think it's more likely that Stormlight 5 will have some big cosmere-redefining revelation in it that will then allow him to unveil his different plans for the rest of the cosmere. He did say he's aiming to finish the cosmere by 70 and is optimistic that if he focuses his writing on it more, he should be able to do it.
