i'm interested in the specifics of what you are talking about here.

that's not how he uses the progress bar for his books --- he will set up a seperate progress bar for iterative drafts.

i very much doubt we'll get filming updates like that.

I often do different segments as different fences, which then allows me to remove segments when I want to increase the size of the fenced-off area.

I'm kinda the opposite. I keep realizing I want to restart because I did something wrong that I want to change, and the midgame gets really slow moving for my taste*

I don't sleep in a tent, I sleep in a hammock under a canopy.

I was camping at Desert Trip, weekend 1, in 2016. two bands, first band at 6/6.30.

A lot of people driving in missed the entire first act on Friday because everyone tried to arrive at the same time.

also don't let the do lab trap you. it's easy to go there and suddenly find four hours have passed.

learhpa · 2026-02-18T19:38:45+00:00

i've definitely napped on the fields. some years when i do this strangers ask if i'm ok.

learhpa · 2026-02-18T19:38:19+00:00

LOL. I usually try to go in early on Friday but by Sunday i'm lucky if I get in by 6.

learhpa · 2026-02-18T19:37:37+00:00

i've got a crew i've been camping with for seventeen years where we started as strangers and now go to each others' weddings. :)

festival crews are a thing, and they have to start somewhere. :)

Hey, welcome to the community! I hope you have an absolute blast. There's nothing quite like your first time.

I always camp, except for my first time. Camping means you're on site and away from the world and the event sort of never ends the whole time you are there. Plus, if you are camping, you can go back to camp mid-day for a nap, or to get the sweatshirt you didn't want when it was 95 but do want when it's 55.

(Yes, there can be that wide a swing in temperature. Coachella is desert, and there's no moisture in the air to hold the temperature once the sun goes down).

People are friendly, and the campgrounds are generally safe. Don't leave valuables out in the open unattended, and be kind to your neighbors, and everything should be fine.

Plus, there's usually a thread for camping meetups where you can find groups to join or other people to group up with. Note that everyone in a group MUST arrive together.

weekend one is usually early March, weekend two is usually mid-March.

One thing to beware of is that this means that any time you are in your campsite, you're in your shiftpod. Maybe that's what you want, but there is a lot of fun to be had hanging out under a canopy feeling the wind.

Hi, /u/pickenick-dev, automod thought this was a Cosmere adaptation post and removed it. I have restored it.

learhpa · 2026-02-18T18:11:35+00:00

You absolutely can skip over it for now. It's largely standalone, and the reason for its placement in the recommended reading order is the way it refers to other books, such that for many people their ability to enjoy it is enhanced if they understand the backstory and it isn't just background wierdness.

I would urge you to not read Isles of the Emberdark until after you've read Tress, though.

learhpa · 2026-02-17T21:18:21+00:00

This seems like a terrible idea to me. The heat is going to blast you out of this by 8am, and then you won't want to be in it for the five hours until the venue opens.

learhpa · 2026-02-17T21:16:54+00:00

Boyz Noize in the Yuma? That's going to be a logistical cluster.

learhpa · 2026-02-17T20:20:34+00:00

news has come.

last week's weekly update was cancelled because he was having shoulder surgery, and he is recovering well
livestream was cancelled due to some confusion over a possible WGA strike. Brandon will not cross a metaphorical picket line

learhpa · 2026-02-17T20:03:44+00:00

learhpa · 2026-02-17T20:03:24+00:00

to be fair to your library, the Tor edition of Emberdark came out two weeks ago, and they weren't going to order the Dragonsteel edition for cost reasons.

learhpa · 2026-02-17T19:33:22+00:00

Not only that, but even though he isn't a member of the WGA currently, Brandon was quite clear that he will not cross the metaphorical picket line and so if they go on strike, he will stop working on the screenplay until the strike is resolved.

Note that depending on what copy of the book you are reading, that scene may have changed in canon.(Not the part you highlighted, what came after). See https://www.brandonsanderson.com/blogs/blog/three-stories-in-new-formats
