Recorded live at Utah Valley University, here's another Q&A episode from the LTUE Symposium!

The questions:

* What was Brandon's plan with Mistborn and the themes regarding establishment?

* Why does Kelsier shrug so much? (This leads into a fun discussion of "tells.")

* How do you know when to stop a chapter? What about expanding it?

* How do you make your prose more transparent?

* How do you decide who and what to cut?

* What do you do to filter out the extraneous ideas that come while you're writing?

* What can collaborators do in order to create a single "voice" for the book?

* What's the best way to tackle a long back-story?
