Argent
The ketek in the first book ["Above silence, the illuminating storms - dying storms - illuminate the silence above"], it seems like this refers to Honor's death.
Brandon Sanderson
Mmhmm.
Argent
What does "Above silence," refer to?
Brandon Sanderson
Above a silent land.
Argent
Hmm. Roshar, somehow? Okay, you're not gonna tell that.
And the second ketek, in Words of Radiance, similarly refers to the highstorm and the Everstorm... Is there more to it?
Brandon Sanderson
No, it's by Navani about the two [storms].
Questioner
There was the poem at the end of Way of Kings. How long did that take?
Brandon Sanderson
It took an embarrassingly long amount of time. I am not a poet, so mixing poetry with a really rigid form... Yes, the keteks take a long time. Both of them.
Wetlander
Are you going to do that in every book?
Brandon Sanderson
A ketek? Yes, I probably will do that.
Questioner
What's the longest you've spent revising a single sentence?
Brandon Sanderson
Usually, the longest I spend revising single sentences would be the keteks in Stormlight, which are the poems I write that go along with it. I'm not so good at poetry so it takes a lot longer for me to get poetry right. Followed by humor scenes. Witty lines, and things like that, take a long time for me to actually write.
