I'd be surprised if he started a new book series at this rate, but yeah he'd probably have to self-publish his books if he started a new series at this point.

I really respect Pat for the way he writes Denna, she's a real hard character to get it rigth.

Amazes me how he presses the point that his mental health isn't in the best of shape right now; which makes it difficult for him to be creative, and everyone overlooks it completely and still scratches and grasps at him for his third book. The problem with society nowadays is that people don't see other people any more. They just see a product and are only interested in consuming. Generalising. Obviously. Throughout the talk he dropped hints that he wanted people to reflect on their mental health and be empathetic to other people's mental health. It was a conversation he wanted to get into but very few bothered to listen. Just waiting to launch their own, fruitless, questions at him. A nice snide remark at the end though. 'It's because you're all such lovely conversational partners'. I imagine he meant it to some degree. But, meh. I'm probably completely wrong.

27:53 was the best question and answer out of all of this. Made me Laugh SO hard.

Here is a man trying to juggle so many things, not least of which being a father, plus a movie and potential TV show, plus worldbuilders and so many other things. I'm anticipating the next book as much as everyone else but I'd rather he take the time to get it right and finish the series strong than slap it together haphazardly like some other authors just to be done.

the dungeon master bit is absolute gold

I just wanted to *kindly* point out that he's still in the breach of writing despite he needs the time to make that beloved third book just perfect for their fans. While having to go to therapy, raising a family, attending events, signing books and yet being always as nice as he can to people. *Kindly*

Has it really been nine years? I remember picking up Wise Man's Fear the day it came out. That can't have been nine years ago.

So his third book in trilogy is fantasy equivalent of half life 3

Funny thing is the first thing I ever read by Patrick Rothfuss was a GoodReads book review. XD

I want that lunchbox too...

The lunchbox would also have no lock.

Anyone who complains about the time it takes to do his art should look first at what beauty they themselves have brought in to the world. Most likely there's none, because even asking that question does little to add to the beauty of anything.

Everyone always asks the same questions and he reads the same things. Like yeah, you get occasional gems here and there, but seriously. I feel like I've watched this interview a million times.

After awhile it gets difficult to be more original with your questions and it's not like you can control the questions people ask in an open Q&A, but I think my favorite parts about these Q&As is Pat rambling about something he feels deeply about based on a question he hasn't been asked like a gajillion times.

The talk is meant for the audience at the con. He asked in the very beginning how many people had no idea who he was and judging by his reaction it must have been quite a few hands. So it shouldn't be a surprise if you hear a lot of the same things as previous talks, seeing how he is essentially introducing himself to new people.

A *proper* spectrum would actually involve individual contributions you can be all at the same time and to different extents. A continuous spectrum such as light power spectra would involve different wavelengths each of which you could be partially attributed to. That seems pretty darn general to me. You could be a little of everything at once. You could be a clearly defined color (a single sharp peak) or you could be all over the map pretty evenly (white light) or you could be somewhere in between. That's for some reason not how "spectrum" tends to be used colloquially though.

As a native portuguese speaker, i really noticed that english have a more poetrical freedom in its grammar than portuguese. Like Rothfuss spoke about the title "slow regard of silent things". In order to translate it and keep the feeling, the mood it expresses in english in portuguese is extremely difficult if not just impossible! Thats why i love to write and read in english much more than portuguese. German also seems to have this "stuff", but im still learning it

has anyone considered the possibility, just the POSSIBILITY that the third book is already done? From an publisher standpoint, it isn't that odd to release the book at the same time as the movie and game and such, and it could very well be withheld for this reason. Now, I'm not saying that's the reason why the third book isn't out, but I bet a lot of the people shitting on Rothfuss for not working haven't even considered the mere possibility. It's a stretch to accuse him of laziness if you aren't even willing to entertain the thought that maybe he isn't so lazy after all.

I think we will have to wait until he keels over from heart disease or old age and THEN we will finally get book three!

​@@Thefinalcountdown650 so everything with magic relating to school is now a "harry potter ripoff"? If the novels were as shitty as you described them as in the first place, then I suppose there was nothing to "fall for" to begin with? Well, that aside, I appreciate all and any recommendations. Just from what I can tell from amazon's description of the book though, it's as much a ripoff as The Name of the Wind. The whole "transported into a video game" or "transported to another world" thing has been done to death (and not just recently). Though, I suppose it's the take on it that really matters and I haven't read enough to give fair judgement. But The Name of the wind's take on the fantasy genre is unique and nothing like harry potter's. I do think Rothfuss is a genius. I've never experienced writing as fluid and beautiful as his, and his story captivated me like no other. And while I do feel the second book wasn't as strong as the first, it was still pretty damn good. I won't deny that he may be a bit of a salesmen, but the lack of a third book could also be due to the publishers who sell as a profession. Not saying it is, but it could quite possibly be. well, anyways, I understand your pain. I've been waiting for a third book for five years (which for a kid who's now in sophomore year, that's a damn long time), and I do get upset that there's no book three, or even a rumor of it, but what can you do. I'm still gonna read it when it comes out, but that's not cause I fell for some salesman's one hit wonder, it's because I legitimately enjoyed the series. If you did too, I suggest you do the same. Authors don't work for us, but we don't have to buy from them either. If you're genuinely angry with him and feel like the series robbed something from you, I suggest you reread it when book three is announced (the second read is also very fun). Because you'd only feel that way if you invested a part of you in this series. I mean, otherwise, why are you even here? Woah... that was longer than intended. Again, thanks for the recommendation. I'll probably pass though. I watch a bit of anime so i'm a bit sick of the surge of "transported to another world" titles in recent years.

Don't they say one the worst things you can do as a writer is try to perfect your first book. Just write it, then write another. If he only has one story to tell he is no chronicler. People say he is so talented. Prove it. The first two books are overrated also. Wtf was with 6 chapters of nymph BS. I think he is a poet, not a storyteller. Edit: Compare him to Brandon Sanderson. He writes 3 amazing books per year. That's talent!

shut up fool

Even he wouldn't release book 3 (which I don't believe for one second) I will love the first two books. Let's be realistic, how will there ever be a movie and series without a proper ending... I believe the reason of the delay is psychological. He is probably suffering from something, hence his comment about therapy. I hope he sorts his personal life out and wish him the best!!!

First...oh wait.

@@DARTHeeek lol you're crazy if you actually believe that the book won't come out eventually. There's a movie and tv series being made that take place in his books. He's absolutely going to finish the story, if for no other reason than money. It's obvious that he's burnt out on the story, hence him writing novellas and other things to get his mind on something somewhat new. Regardless, the story is already written. It just has to be edited until Pat feels like it's good enough to be released. That's what I think, anyway.

@@fulcrumthebrave5715 Why so sure thou? Its confirmed the series will be a story that happens before the events of the name of the wind. Idk about the movie, but its starting to look what people have been saying since the first confirmation of the third book, when he said it would come out in 2014. He might not know how to put and end, or at least not in one book, i really like the excuse of it being edited and reviewed, but no book needs 2, 3, or more years to be revised, even if you know how much of a perfectionist and dedicated writer Patrick is. At least thats my opinion hahahajaja

Guys a joke

How long after you stopped writing till you are not an author anymore? Like, what's his day-job now that he does not write anymore?

8:45 - Why the fuck did he react like that? What's wrong with this guy?

Thicc Fantasy.

Someone please just give us the bits with the interesting parts.

I am no longer entertained.

Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson are leading in fantasy right now, in terms of quality reads and best practice for writers. Rothfuss and GRRM are just looking for cash cows and avoiding their fans hard but fair questions

still rothfuss and GRRM books are unique. While brandon sanderson books are like computer generated writing with unique world/ magic systems. Btw slandering artists never works, its not a materialistic job. I hated christopher paolini when i was waiting for the books but it wont make him write faster since he needs his feelings to be in contact to feel the stories flow and rightness

Good to know he can release rick and morty vs dungeons and dragons and not release book 3. You've lost yet another fan pat

He keeps looking at the time and just wasting time. Man, he really doesn't want to be there.

Don't want to watch, someone tell me if he says anything about is book. Tyia

IF YOU LOVED YOUR FANS THEN YOU WOULD GIVE US THE THIRD BOOK!

I love Rothfuss, however he should stop shitting all over someone else's book and venturing onto good reads to review books until he's finished DoS. On the other hand, he can do whatever he wants and doesn't owe us anything. Edit: I read another comment about the wall of non information he puts up when asked about book 3. I wonder what his therapist would have to say about that? He should just wear a shirt that says " don't ask me about book 3". Why can't he just say that he is working on it and he's excited about it/ not excited about it? Just in general be honest about it. I think his fans would appreciate his true feelings being put forth in a heartfelt way. Instead of the whole ignoring the question, or one word answers. It's rude and disingenuous.

He has written a single decent fantasy novel and a terrible sequel. I don't know what the fuss is about Rothfuss.

Fans of mediaeval fantasy stories get angry because favourite story teller spends time telling stories (like actual and fictional mediaeval story-tellers did) and not publishing printed books (like almost no mediaeval story-tellers did, real or fantasy)....

He is not a serious author any more. Just does occasional short story or short novella.

Hey look, it's that guy that used to be a writer, now he is just a blogger and gamer guy. It's been about a decade ago since he published a full length novel. I get it, he is doing a lot of fun stuff, and instead of the hard work of writing. I wish he'd confess that he is not going to write book 3. But whatever, he sold the story off to lionsgate and has the gravy train. He is just b going to cons, running more Kickstarters, gaming, playing, and made his money and now he is resting on that old stuff he did. Pretty soon nobody will care. At least JK Rowling had the courtesy to finish. Hell, her books and movies were almost all done in less time than it's taken to get book 3. Butcher released 12 full novels in the same time. Rothfuss isn't writing book 3, he's a convention cardboard cutout.

I feel like there is a lot of anger tied up in how you feel about him, i wont go weirdo psych 101 but are you angry or sad? The man will do his thing, frankly as someone that found him though that gameing stuff im glad he did them. Sure hell be ok if he never makes another book, but hes talked before about his constant urge to write different things. I dont claim to know his method but maybe the reason he hasnt finished that book was a lack of inspiration, would you rather a shit 3rd book today or his proper work sometime in the future? This is the full qualification segment - i haven't read any of his books. I only read technical stuff to learn, i dont like the "for fun" books much. But as an auditory learner Pat is the best teacher there has ever been for me on how to express my own thoughts. Had to add that there for context sorry. But this is a perfect growth point, you dont need to feel that (insert non-happy emotion), ether good things will happen or they will stay the same. Ether way you remain unchanged or happier, the fact that can exist is in itself a positive. TLDR:Pat will be Pat, and that's a good thing.

If you don't respect him then why do you claim you want to read his books? If you are so sick then get therapy instead of worrying about this.

Do you even understand the creative process? It's not like building a house where you just work hard... there is a lot more at play and you can't always control everything.

I am shocked by the nerve and rudeness of some people these days. I get it, you’re fans, but do you guys think there would be a story at all if it wasn’t for the writer? Show some respect for the fellow human being - the writer. And also, what do you have to show? Written any trilogies lately?

Book 3 has become the elephant in every room that Rothfuss inhabits. what happened to "a writer writes" ? clearly not this writer. He just goes to conventions, strokes his own ego, laps up the attention while not producing anything for nearly 8 years. Yawn.

He's been drinking more too. If you check out his twitter he mentions it a lot, drinking and streaming, drinking and hanging out, etc. I dunno, if someone is suffering from mental health issues I'm not sure drugs and alcohol is the answer. Who knows, if he stopped with the booze he may recover the joy and creativity he once had

Stop talking start writing. If onlyhe enjoyed writing as much as talking and being in the spot light.
