Editing Robert Jordan (section)

===Conan the Barbarian===
{{main|Conan the Barbarian}}
Jordan was one of several writers who have written [[Conan the Barbarian]] stories. When [[Tom Doherty]] obtained the rights, he needed a novel very quickly, so Jordan's wife Harriet McDougal recommended him because she knew he had written his first novel, ''Warriors of the Altaii'', in thirteen days.
<blockquote>So he thought I could write something fast, and he was right, and I liked it. It was fun writing something completely over the top, full of [[purple prose]], and in a weak moment I agreed to do five more and the novelization of the second Conan movie. I've decided that those things were very good discipline for me. I had to work with a character and a [[Hyboria|world]] that had already been created and yet find a way to say something new about the character and the world. That was a very good exercise.<ref name="theoryland2003">{{Cite web |last=Lilley |first=Ernest |date=2003-01-21 |title=Interview with Robert Jordan |url=http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=168#11 |access-date=2012-04-13 |website=Theoryland}}</ref></blockquote>
