Surprise Audible Sale!

10/17/2019

Here's a wonderful surprise for anyone who has yet to hear Travis Baldree's beautiful voice: Unsouled was selected for today's Audible Daily Deal! It's like two bucks for the rest of the day, so go pick it up if you're interested!

Why yes, you're correct, it is pretty late in the day for that information, so here's something longer-lasting for you: all of my audiobooks except Uncrowned are $5 or less on Audible until the end of the month!

I was planning to blog about some more writing stuff today, but this sale caught me by surprise in a cool way! Enjoy!

...and here were the two most popular suggestions of blog topics from the comments last time: 1.) more about the writing process, or 2.) talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So let me know in the comments below whether you'd like to hear my spoileriffic review of a movie you've all seen (Avengers: Endgame) or whether you'd like to hear me talk about some of the vague ideas and concepts I'd like to explore in a future series (if I ever finish the ones I'm already writing).

Thanks for reading!

-Will

Both. The answer is both. Obviously you'll just have to work hard to churn out twice as many blog posts as usual, but I think that's a price I'm willing to pay. :D

(Unless this gets in the way of actual writing in which case I never said any such thing.)

Gah. No edit button? Where's my take backsies?

If I had to pick, I'd go with the vague concepts and ideas for future stories. But I still wouldn't object to both! XD

Vague ideas and concepts please!

Here's another vote for vague ideas and concepts.

I also would like to see a half-formed embryo of a story from you, Will.

Avengers, but replacing all mentions of "Spiderman" or "Peter" with "Lindon" and "Ironman" or "Tony" with "Eithan".

Apologies, but I don't feel so good...

Definitely the vague ideas and concepts. It would be interesting to see what you can cook up. Also, strange question, have you ever thought about doing a low magic story or even possibly historical fiction or is that not your bag?

Make more worksheets for us Will. I really enjoyed the magic system one, and would like to generate more terrible story ideas that I can foist upon you.

I wasn't kidding about giving you the copyright to Ballomancy. You now own that Will. May it clog up your documents folder and forever occupy 1 kb of your computer's hard drive space.

I don't know if my conscience could bear the burden of knowing that I had unleashed an army of Ballomancers upon a fictional world

10/21/2019 01:11:34 pm

Too late! Somewhere deep within a forgotten branch of The Way, where your unused IP's lurk, awaiting the call of the void, lies an iteration plagued by Ballomancers!

Hi Will,

I'd like you to come up with a brand new concept. As in, I want it to be so new you're going to come up with it as you're writing the blog post, pulling it out of thin air. Because if you use one of those other new conceps you've come up with and stored on your phone or computer I've probably already seen it.

On another note, why are you so stalkable? I dont follow any other authors regularly, and I dont even remember the real names of popular actors. I dont follow anybody else, and yet for some reason I find myself religiously checking your social media several times per day. Its gotten to the point that I was rereading my private list of everything you've ever said or posted online and suddenly realized having such a list was a little creepy.

It's weird. What are you doing to make me e-stalk you so much?

While I'm not on your level, I too have often wondered why I am so invested in the being known as Will Wight.

It must be mind control!

Mr. Will Wight,

You sir are just pure evil, you provide us with these books that are astoundingly well written with sometimes too well written characters and expect us to just allow you to make us suffer in wait for your next book?!

All joking aside, I love your work and the way you write! Don't make my comments pressure you into another book, (Although I would not complain if you evolved into a being who could publish every other day [That's how long it takes me to read your books]) I have re-read your book so many times I know most of the dialogue before I read it.

Thanks so much for the characters and stories of the gods. (I know how much you risked to take them and bring them to us)

For stealing their fire, I will be haunted by their machinations for the rest of my life.

10/21/2019 04:11:28 pm

Also I forgot to mention but Uncrowned is and has been for a while now on the most read this week in Goodreads on multiple genres! Congrats on all the success Will!

I’m going throw my vote at future book ideas, I’d love to hear those. Also will, is holloween your favorite holiday, and if not, what is?

10/21/2019 09:54:04 am

Halloween is definitely the theme I enjoy the most, but I don't usually DO anything for Halloween. It's 100% the coolest holiday, and I really want to write a Halloween-themed novel someday.

10/21/2019 02:34:27 pm

I would love to read a Halloween themed novel from you! It is hands down my favorite holiday, and a book with that setting is just so much fun.

It is kind of fun to see Will's face and books plastered all over Audible. They really did a good job promoting him.

Hi,

Is this Will Wight, author of the 7'th best selling audio book this month?

10/25/2019 06:17:02 am

Aww. I guess weekly blog posts are over. Will's probably busy trying to get as much work done on OKAK so he can get both it and Wintersteel out.

Maybe you should split them up Will? I know most of the story has to be written simultaneously, but maybe release one OKAK book, release Wintersteel, then release the other OKAK book?

You could potentially have a release every quarter next year. You still have the next Cradle bundle, the sequel to the Foundation bundle, in reserve.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 😩

*sniff* I guess I’ll have to keep trying…🥺

But I must say I’m interested in new concepts, as well. 🤭

This has been occurring to me for a while now. Is Eithan Ozriel in disguise?

Drew

10/27/2019 12:03:20 pm

Im starting to wonder if Suriel encountering London was also part of Ozriel’s plan all along, so only she could find him.

Nicholas

Honestly, I'm hoping for another Black Friday worldbuilding thread. Same as you did for Halloween 2017. Or maybe a Deathmatch like you did the year before that.

I discovered you through the Audible daily special and have since listened through Uncrowned.(Sorry my phone refuses to underline.) Thank you. Work like Lindon. Please. Excited for next book. Waiting.

I bought the daily deal though audible, got though it in two days. (I am luck enough to have a low stress desk job, so I chew though books and podcasts. ) I am though uncrowned today, thus the look up to see where the next one will be. Having only listened to the books and not reading them I think I misspelled every name in my head. London was Linden,Eithen was Nathan, Ozriel was Azriel, Suriel was Sariel, and the Abidan I heard Abaddon. This might have colored them a bit, due my love of Myth and lore. I would also like to know what iteration our Earth is, must be pretty far from the power of the way, or maybe we are just not trying hard enough.

In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.
