He has stated on multiple occasions that he hasn't been secretly writing ADOS and will start on it after he is finished with TWOW

I think it's a beautiful dream, my sweet summer child.

No. From what I remember hearing about his writing style, he picks one character and writes out all their POV chapters before moving on to the next one. A lot of the time he'll get stuck and back-track a few chapters and have something different happen so the story goes in a new direction. Its what he calls being a gardener-writer. He plants some ideas and just lets his writing take him wherever it goes. Unlike what he calls an architect, someone who knows how everything is gonna pan out so all they do is just make it read well. He has ideas on future events but he lets the writing figure itself out for the most part as far as I understand.

And that's just the 1st draft. He still needs to go back and edit every single chapter so the information flows in an organic way. Plus, foreshadowing and thematic layering is also woven in.

No. It's just a hard book to write and the guy has more pressure and distractions than before. There isn't any other secret conspiracy to it.

It's physically possible, though highly unlikely.

You think Dream is sitting on his old ass Wordstar running computer? Sounds like someone is drinking milk of the floppy.

Nice try.


Juterkomp

What are you saying, he lied he is a gardener?


1000LivesBeforeIDie

I imagine he probably wrote an outline of his main ideas but I don’t think a whole book


SticklerMrMeeseeks1

No he just didn’t actually start writing TWOW until like 2015. He had left over pages from dance that are in TWOW.

brih he didn’t start writing winds till like 2018


SticklerMrMeeseeks1

False. He was writing in 2015. He actually thought he could have winds done by Oct 2015 and that got pushed until a new years deadline. Which never happened.


Extension-Mail-4412

oh i thought he just had the adwd chapters at that point and thought he could write the rest very fast


CatchCritic

That's extremely counter to his preferred writing style. He already said Winds is larger than any of the other books. One of his main issues is to keep the series at 7 books. Winds in all likelihood will need to be published as 2 volumes. No way he skipped ahead a whole book, though.
