I totally got trolled this morning. A friend texted me and told me the third book was released.
I *ran* to my computer and googled and while doing it they called me and I answered and I was so angry I couldn't even speak.
Yea, I wonder if a lot of the dissatisfaction would exist if he just didn't have that blog or twitter.maverick2076 said:
I loved that book too. I've reread it many times. I would probably be OK with waiting if:
A. Rothfuss hadn't marketed that book on the strength that the rest of the trilogy was already written. That was clearly a lie.
B. I hadn't read his blog. He is such a self-absorbed, whiny little beta ***** that it has soured me on anything he does. He has literally stated that he can't write because Trump won the election and he is too emotionally distraught. What a *****.

Sam Raimi is in negotiations to direct Lionsgate's adaptation of "The Kingkiller Chronicles," based on Pat Rothfuss' classic novels.
In 2016, Lionsgate tapped "Hamilton" star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda to serve as creative producer and musical mastermind of the feature film and TV series adaptations of "The Kingkiller Chronicle," along with Rothfuss. Miranda has the option to be involved in future stage productions as well.
Lionsgate had no comment on the Raimi news.
The film's script is being penned by Lindsey Beer, who served as a writer on "Transformers: The Last Knight." It will be based on the first book in Rothfuss' series, "The Name of the Wind."
The series is centered on the wizard Kvothe, who survives a tragic childhood to become a notorious household name. "The Kingkiller Chronicle" series of books and novellas has sold 10 million copies, and the first two books "The Name of the Wind" and "The Wise Man's Fear" were New York Times bestsellers.
Showtime is also currently developing a "Kingkiller Chronicle" TV show based on the series.
Raimi has been weighing several projects currently in development, including the Skydance pic "Bermuda Triangle," but sources say this film is in the best position to be his next project.
Raimi, who may be best known for the "Evil Dead" series and the original "Spider-Man" trilogy, has been focused on his producing in recent years, and hasn't directed anything since 2013's "Oz the Great and Powerful" for Disney. He is repped by CAA.
Classic? That's a good one.Quote:

Lolol. At least GRRM got Benioff and Weiss to finish his tale. Takeaway - get at least 4 novels done before you flake the f-ck out.titanmaster_race said:PatAg said:

Ha! Suck it rothfuss. What happens when you stop writing? Lindsay Beer starts writing for you.
He says he reads a book (or two) per day.MidnightYell2003 said:
He consistently reviews and rates books that he reads on Goodreads:

It looks like in July, he read 7 books. Maybe that's not a good sign for progress.

Hopefully Rothfuss will have a stroke and die when Trump gets re-elected and Sanderson will finish the series.

Got a few ideas for ya Patrick
Your characters could travel the narrow, tree shrouded paths of the Weighting Forest of Aurlives to reach the mountains. From there they must traverse Deadlines Pass and then Expectations Descent. When they reach the city of Stillnothing they must head to the Writer's Block of the Arts District and finally stop at Patience's End.
At that point they'll stop questing altogther, spend all of their time at conventions, and complain about how they couldnt possibly quest while King Convenient Excuse is being a big meanie

All publishers should put language in the contract that says if the original author takes to long or dies, Sanderson gets to come in and finish the book.
We'd have a lot more complete series at this point.

Fans would start bumping off dawdling authors to get a Sanderson ending for languishing series.
