It's always startling to read a wikipedia page and see it's switched seamlessly to being in the past tense the minute someone passes on.

Rest in Peace, Robert; we may not be burning our towels, but you wrote some books that I did get a lot of enjoyment out of, which I'm very grateful for.

OK, crunch time. Did you or did you not record the outline of the remainder of the wheel of time arc and the unanswered mysteries, to be opened in event of your death? I stopped reading a little while ago, intending to pick up if the series comes to a conclusion, because I do want to know what happens.

Now it's been solved or it never will be. If you winged it, and some mysteries weren't written with an answer, then I have no objection, but I'd like to know that. If not, bugger, I'll continue to leave the series where I left off.

"blog entries confirmed that he continued work on it until his death, and he shared all of the significant plot details with his family not long before he died."

Whew.

His blog also mentioned that he kept copious notes on his world, characters, and what he intended for them.

Probably not, but thank you. If you've got them safe I'll get them next time I see you.
