A bit of blog, a bear, and a blush.
Hey there everybody,
I’m still reeling a bit from the response to the last blog. I’m surprised so many of you still show up here after all the long stretches of silence. I’m even more surprised at the storm of kind comments as well. Though I’ll be honest here: I’m not too surprised, as over the years y’all have proved that you are delightfully compassionate and empathetic human beings. Still, the degree to which you are supportive does still amaze me from time to time.
I’m going to be making...

I didn't read this post, but I just wanted you to know I fucking loved KingKiller #1-2!One of the coolest fantasy worlds I've immersed myself in, movie or book. You're writing style is beautiful, and flowy, and paints an amazing picture.
Keep it up! I'll wait forever for book 3.
I don't understand people who rate not-yet-published book with one star, writing angry comments and being really rude about you. You know, we all are greedy from time to time, and yes,we all can't wait. But. We all also know whenever the time will come, it will be amazing and even those people who wrote - i'm not interested in a book anymore - will buy that book because they know too! And they can't spoil it for us because we stick with you.

We’ll wait for as long as it takes because we KNOW it will be well worth it!
Mr. Rothfuss,I’d like to share something I read once that I have highlighted, bookmarked and otherwise tagged on every medium for reading/listening to literature I use. I have referred back to this passage more times than I can count (although, to be honest, I’m horrible at math so that doesn’t take much). It begins something like this:
“PERHAPS THE GREATEST FACULTY our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain. Classic thinking teaches us of the four doors of the mind, which everyone moves through according to their need.”
It goes on to explain the four doors: Sleep, Forgetting, Madness and Death.
All but the very luckiest of us has dealt with pain, tremendous loss and sometimes what feels like overwhelming sadness. While your words on this may seem maudlin to some, for me they are the very definition of human preservance and strength. They have repeatedly given me hope that I will make it through whatever doors I need to, to come out the other side whole. Thank you for that.
I know it must seem strange to have your own words provided back to you as a form of therapy. I just wanted you to know that if you don’t write another thing in you life (certainly not a suggestion) you will have given me something that has made my life inexplicably better nonetheless.

PS: I have been working on a tattoo design featuring these doors (maybe just one) for years. It would be amazing to have your blessing to actually put needle to skin, so to speak.
I love books whose characters you want to see evolve, grow, and win. You suffer with every injustice, and rejoice with every success. Your books gave me that. And I believe that crafting that world is not an easy fit. Even though you may know how the pieces should fall, creafting them in a way that the reader can emphathize with them is not an easy feat. I am extreamly anxious for the next book, but understand that craftmanship takes time. Keep up the good work.
