Dromen and Demonen
Q: Was WH originally intended to be longer?
A: Winters Heart was originally intended to be longer yes but every book was intended to be longer when I started. I have always been overly optimistic about how much of the story I can put into any one book. remember in the beginning I thought it was only going to be 4-5 books maybe 6 at the most. As for emperor who thinks I am not Robert Jordan, I don't remember meeting but i do remember someone from the Dragonmount site which I think is very good.
