I'm sending this because I'm pretty sure there are some here who would be interested to read it. Below is a link to a fairly long and detailed explanation by Brandon Sanderson, who was asked to finish The Wheel of Time series, of how the project is going, why certain decisions were made regarding how many books it will involve and a projected timeline for completion. http://www.brandonsanderson.com/article/56/Splitting-AMOL The way things are expected to go may not please everyone; but I for one am happy to get the news, especially the part about a new book probably coming out this November.
