Statistical Analysis of White Sand Prose

[Elegy he/him]

Since this board is/was (?) the only place to talk about White Sand Prose, the Coppermind has never had a POV/word count Statistical Analysis page for that story like it has for the published books - but I'm kind of a statistics geek and was interested in how it would turn out, so here it is. I didn't count chapter headlines and stuff like that, which is why the total word count is less than what the document would count. I also didn't double-check every single number, but it should be close enough at the very least. Enjoy:

Hey, have you read Aether of Night?

I actually saved that one for the next Cosmere drought (probably next year, between Rhythm of War and Lost Metal). But yes, I could imagine doing the same for that one once I've read it, if noone else has done it by then.
