That information isn't finalized yet, so I don't have any details for you. When we know and when we can give you that information, we will let you know. --Regina Buenaobra Image:User_Regina_Buenaobra_sig.png 17:02, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Writing a book (I've heard) is hard work. Actually, it's probably the editing that's tough. I always self edit, so it's hard for me to write at all... (two different processes: writing: being creative; and editing: being analytical).

So of course he's "glad" he finished editing one book, and now gets to the "fun" part if just writing again.

My interpretation anyway.

As someone who has done many papers (documental, story, etc.) in the past, even if you wanted to do the project, it will be a relief to have finished it. This even goes past papers and stories. This is mostly due to the amount of research required to find before doing the project. In this case, Matt had to know a majority - if not all - of Ascalon's lore in GW, along with locations, races, time, major events and a few other things that could get mentioned in the book.

It's also possible that the story that he needs to "get out of his head" came to him while working on the GW book.
