All choked up by Brandon Sanderson’s words

I’ve been a little behind in my reading of Brandon Sanderson’s blog. I just read his entry from the end of March when he talks about his “collaboration” with Robert Jordan in completing A Memory of Light.

This part has me all choked up:

Collaborating with Robert Jordan seemed to set me too high in the process. I’m finishing the Master’s work for him, since he is unable to. I kind of feel like Sam, carrying Frodo the last few paces up the mountain.

Maybe I’m just a big old sap, but that just pulls at my heartstrings.

Brandon Sanderson will complete A Memory of Light

Tor announced that Brandon Sanderson will complete Robert Jordan’s final book in the Wheel of Time series, A Memory of Light.

Robert Jordan’s wife, Harriet, chose Sanderson to complete the novel, and she will edit it as she has edited all previous books in the series.

I am unfamiliar with Brandon Sanderson’s work, but I will be taking a look at Dragonmount’s interview with him to see what I can learn.

A Memory of Light is slated to be completed by the end of 2008 and published in Fall 2009.
