Kaiten007’s comments from the Christopher Paolini (INHERITANCE CYCLE series) group.

Well for 1, Considering how long he is taking to write it, I think we should be informed as to how he is going with it. That guy i said earlier who made a quality book each month, he would have weekly blogs. I was told that on his blogs he would be like "had a bad week this week, only wrote 10,000 words." And since he is so long writing it, he should be able to understand that alot of fans are unsure if he i giving his all and such and not writing a little here and a little there. And another reason would be to keep the fans hooked, to keep us informed of his progress would keep us anxious and make us feel that we are sort of going through a similar journey as CP in writing it.

OK so he is trying to reach for perfection. That doesnt explain why he cant supply weekly/fortnightly or even monthly updates as to where he is up to in the book, What the chapter name is, or even chapter number, how many pages he has written etc. This is something that he should be doing considering he is spending over 3 years writing it. We are lucky to get a once a year update. It's pretty pathetic.

I still dont know why he needs to go to book shops to promote the "Deluxe Version" of Brisingr which only has a few more pages. For christ sakes, its still the same book. And it is hardly a reason to spend that time making a appearance to promote a few more pages when he could be using that time to WRITE a few more pages of BOOK 4.

I think that CP needs to pull his finger out. He is losing his fan base because he is taking so long writing a book. He doesnt have to worry about the whole ground work of it all, he has already done like 90% of it. I want to know why he takes so long to write a book. Not only that but he doesnt give us, his fans, any updates, which is quite frankly impolite, rude and disrespectful. If he is going to spend over 3 yrs writing a single book i think regular updates are required. The last time we heard about something was 6 MONTHS AGO!!! CP needs to get off his ass, stop going to book shops and promoting a book that is 3 yrs old but has a few extra pages for the point of money. its friggin stupid. Why doesnt he realise that fans are only really interested in finding about the book he should be writing not a few more pages. If CP wanted more money than he should have been smarter when the movie was made. What he allowed for the purposes of blockbuster-ness ruined the movie. The end fight of the movie promoted a mastery that he didnt have. And it made it difficult for sequel. Not that I think there will be a sequel.

This is to CP or his team - Stop piss farting around,put you head down and write BOOK 4. If you didnt spend 3 yrs writing a book you would have a bigger fan base and you could make more money. You would have made more stories, more worlds. You should already know where the story is heading, just write the thing.
This is to the Publishers of the book - Set CP a due date. Make him hurry his ass up.

Thats all i can say. I have been honest, i could have said more to emphasize points but i just pray you understand what damage is occurring here. It seems to alot of people that you treat your writing as a hobby and not your life. You cant do that when you create epics. I know of a author who writes a book a month and most other authors write 2 or 3 a year. CP you really need to hurry up on this. Thousands of people are giving up on you because you are taking so long finishing of the series. They are giving up on waiting.
