TIL that bestselling author Brandon Sanderson finished twelve novels before a publisher picked one (the sixth one finished) for publication. That publisher, Tor Books, contacted him a year and a half after he had sent them the manuscript. That’s what I call patience and fortitude.

He has now sold over 40 million copies of his books and Apple TV recently acquired the development rights to many of his works. He was clearly writing because he loved to write and believed he had something worthwhile to say. So he wrote and wrote and wrote.

This is some great perspective for me as I work on my first novel.
