===Writing Process===
Brandon wrote a few "exploratory scenes" for Stormlight 3 during the summer of 2014, however he didn't start in earnest on the book until June 2015. He plans to on screen-capture part of the writing process, as he did with ''[[Words of Radiance]]'''s [[Rysn]] interlude.{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson-december-2014|State of the Sanderson: December 2014|date=Dec 18th, 2014}}
 
The original outline called for the flashback sequence to focus on [[Szeth-son-son-Vallano]], however Brandon later changed his mind. He planned on writing parts of the flashbacks for Szeth as well as [[Eshonai]] and [[Dalinar Kholin]], to help him decide who can best get across the information he needs to.{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson-december-2014|State of the Sanderson: December 2014|date=Dec 18th, 2014}}. After working on Dalinar's flashbacks however was pleased enough with how they were going that he decided not to go forward with the other two sequences.{{cite}} In late September 2016 he indicated that he would be spending part of October writing Szeth's flashback sequence, in order to solidify certain backstory pieces relevant to other scenes he was writing, and that there was a real but unlikely chance that he would change the book back to focus on Szeth.{{cite}}
 
On July 16, 2016 Brandon announced that he had finished Dalinar's flashback chapters. There are 15 in total, with a sum word count of around 55,000 words.{{tweet ref|621618209788047360|text=The Flashbacks are done!|date=Jul 16th, 20152016}}.
