  • Robert Jordan took a long time finishing his Wheel of Time series- he actually died and Brandon Sanderson had to write the last three books

    GRRM is still writing his series.

    My point is that they would say that time proposed is not enough because they take a long time to write.

    Additional context:

    Robert Jordan’s first book for the Wheel of Time series, The Eye of the World, was published in 1990. His last book, A Memory of Light, was published in 2013. He died in 2007 and a lot of fans, me included, thought the series was also dead but Jordan’s wife brought on Sanderson to finish it. And he did such a great job writing in Jordan’s style that some think he did Jordan better than Jordan did.

    GRRM wrote A Game of Thrones which was published in 1996 which is the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire. His latest book in the series, A Dance with Dragons, was published in 2011 and only book five of seven proposed books for the series. Three series was originally going to be a trilogy so we’ll see if it ends at seven. The Wheel of Time series was also supposed to be a trilogy when Jordan started it.
















  • I addressed “tHiS iS tHe MoSt ImPoRtAnT eLeCtIoN eVaR!” and Project 2025- there is always a Boogeyman that we always have to vote Democrat or the Republicans will destroy us (and the lukewarm Republicans/Conservatives get the opposite message from the opposition). They play us too keep us in line.

    Sending a message to Joseph “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black” Biden and the DNC is about the only thing I can do with my vote since I refuse to support genocide, which is a full stop issue and precludes the need for any other reasons. I’m trying to not be a Doomer and saying that revolution is the only way but what other options are there?

    We have to stop thinking the current election and think long term. If more people vote their conscience then the DNC would take that into account. Instead people listen to their doomsaying and vote in fear of the immediate and nothing changes about the party.

    I know Jill isn’t going to win, but I’m not a team person and I’m just picking what I see as the best candidate- I’ve picked the lesser evil too many times and here we still are, in a worse place.

    I would love a different system but I still wouldn’t put Biden down as my second choice because genocide support is not acceptable.
