Numbers, Thanks, and Fancy Covers From the UK…
As I write this, the Narrow Road Between Desires has been published for six days. Not quite a week.
I can’t remember if I’ve talked about it on the blog recently, but the first week of sales for a book are pretty important. It’s sort of similar to how people mention how much money the opening weekend of a movie made: it’s an easy metric that quantifies the movie’s success. It doesn’t indicate how *good* the movie is, mind you. But even so… there’s an implication…

Patrick Rothfuss is intentionally cheating and ignoring donors of his charity for nearly 2 years. He won't even apologize or post a blog about it, but he is able to post constant blogs to sell his new product.Donors of his own charity mean less to him than getting more money.
@ThisGuy He definitely should at least realize that the bad reviews are a consequence for him not finishing Doors of Stone yet and also not fulfilling promises regarding his charity and donations. The readers/fans are irritated and he *should* be a little uncomfortable with that.
A few of the people above are obviously not writers...Your timing is your timing: not something to be trolled and judged from afar. Writing into a world is all consuming when it is rolling, and completly frustrating when it is not.
Beyond that, I enjoy the world you create with your masterful magic with words.
Thank you for the update! Hope you are well. Your books are truly special.
@ThisGuy is not wrong. Make it right, please, Mr. Patrick Rothfuss.

Some of the people above are clearly not workers. Writing is no different than any other job. Just a lot of crybabies that don't want to work even part time.
All producing authors agree, that if you sit down, and treat writing as your job, you will produce good content, and you will get better at the craft.
Pat doesn't want to work. That is why he doesn't produce anything. His publisher/editor confirmed he hadn't written in at least 6 years a while back.
Pat is lazy. That is it. Pat doesn't want to work and so he doesn't.
