Yeah, I don't know if he'll get back to that same rate (the books keep getting longer and longer), but it's an exciting message.
He's said in the past that traveling really slows down his writing pace as well. With more online work being acceptable, that might be cut down a bit.
TrueMonk:
I am also thinking that 12 months compared to a normal book should be easier and faster to write. If a normal book is 80% stand alone and 20% based on the previous books, and those 20% are to some degree complicating mainly complicating things, not making them easier. Then 12 months 7s just the opposite.

Perhaps a lesson learned as to why it isn't a good thing to let too many years pass between books.
LostInTime:
The Reddit write up didn't include my question that Jim answered. "Must the fae queen mantles go to mortals and does it change their DNA?"
Jim answered, Yes, and yes. Since mortals are the only ones who have free will, the queens must start out with free will. Which is odd, because we've already seen examples of how Molly doesn't have free will in all things, already.
Later, one of the other questions was about Harry's free will. Jim said that his free will is dependent upon how many commands Mab saddles him with.
I have an audio file of the Q&A. I intend to write a transcript, but I haven't had time. Perhaps I'll load it up to YouTube.

Well, I can see that, based on what she did to Slate, hard to have free will under those kinds of threats.

Yes, as time passes she becomes less human.. Or is a bit more complicated than that? Kind of like angels, all kinds of power but the greater the power the greater the constraints they have to live under.
