Uranium contains roughly 18 million [kcal/gram], food calories. Could Lift eat uranium to get supercharged?
Brandon Sanderson
Lift has to be able to metabolize it. The way that her abilities work, she has to be able to digest it and metabolize it to get the energy out. She couldn't metabolize uranium; it would just irradiate her.

How far through the series are you, that second half [of Stormlight] with the time jump?
Brandon Sanderson
I mean, I have an outline. How far is that outline along? It needs a lot of work right now. I'm working on that outline; I have Book Ten pretty well outlined, I have Book Six pretty well outlined. But, like, Books Seven and Eight are pretty vague, still.
Questioner
And Nine is just a blip?
Brandon Sanderson
Once you get close to the end, it starts to get closer. It's the middle. Like, I've got Six pretty well, and Seven okay; Eight is probably the least done. Six is the most done; Ten is the second most done.
