Neat, I didn't even know what was a thing! I'm glad he figured out where to take the story, and it sounds like he's leaning into making what Kvothe says as being more truth than fiction, but the next part is still hard: how do you make the end more interesting than "And then the main character kicked everyones ass, the end"? Especially since we know he lives and is, presumed fine? That's the part that is likely taking forever, and this novella sounds like it's a chunk of story he couldn't fit in the book.
For the record I like Rothfuss and all his writing. I've met him! We talked about life stuff and he's a cool guy! I think people expect more than The Dresden Files from him and that pressure sucks. I maintain that he likely wrote the final book, realized he hated it, and has spent this time trying to salvage it while maintaining that the next book will be the end of the story.
