And also, no, i don't get that tease all that often. In part because I'm intimidating, and in part because my mom would have cut someone, had they the temerity to go after the woman who taught me how to writer.

Not I, said the Cat. ;)

No, I think it's perfectly normal. I'm also autistic and am perfectly capable of writing a wide variety of ways of being. So, we do have some autists, but we also have neurotypicals and no few characters who aren't human, have never been human, and never will be. They think differently, as well...

I do it all day long. Fairly sure the lot's about to take out orders of protection against me. Teach them to read the outlines.

Oh! I almost forgot. The numbers in Documents? I didn't do that. Selene, our younger writing partner, did that. I like it alphabetically. So, you can imagine how well getting in and finding she was changing things went over. It was on par with a lead turkey.

And will now be forever known as the "Crossing Guard Stance."

You, sir, are a rabble rouser. You rouse rabble. ;) And yes, you are very right. And your girlfriend - really beautiful name - was also right. I tend to call Lazamon Welsh because there's some question as to his origins. Or there was 20 years ago. I was one of like 5 people in the discipline...

I come from a Lang and Lit in Historical Context background, so I know my way around an epic. I'd rather engage in a literary discussion with a mime than to write one of these things. I also can't rhyme to save the universe, so that might be a factor. I've got two epics that are my favorites...

This is a really great speech, where Sanderson is able to articulate something that I've been circling for months. It's heavy craft stuff, so I'm putting it in here.

Nothing to apologize for. I just saw that 2016 and immediately spawned a Rollator. ;)
