Brandon Sanderson is notorious for writing in a different pace than other writers. With the pandemic, he might have hit his highest point and pushed out five extra novels in the last two years. The kickstarter campaign linked to this has already pushed tons of his fans to pre-order these extra novels – which at the time of recording this has hit 21 million in backing (now 25 million). With this episode, we will try to investigate how he did this and how we can adopt some ways to become more productive.
