Wheel of Time Fans-Could an Orange Ajah exist?

Wheel of Time Fans- Could an Orange Ajah exist?



I enjoyed listening to this reading and q&a session from the Wheel of Time Series.  Harriet shared a story where Robert Jordan looked at her scarf with many colors and told her that his favorite ajah was orange. 
If there really was an orange ajah I would choose to believe that they were on a zest quest.  These are people who have pushed and are currently pushing through the struggles and not giving up.  These are people who are finding happiness and fulfillment in their life.


I've always loved learning how people push through the struggles and make their dreams a reality. Some of these are shared during this session.  
I think these lessons are great to hear and apply in our own life.  
Branden Sanderson continued his education to a high level but his heart was always in writing.  He wrote two books a year for several years before he really became noticed. He worked graveyard at a Hotel writing his way through it. He shared that he uses wiki's in order to help him be organized, something he admits to struggling with.
Robert Jordan had an offer for his first book ever and when he requested more than 5% for the movie rights his offer was taken away from him.  He didn't give up at that point.  He then received an offer from Tor.  I loved hearing how he was practically begged by the editor and future wife, Harriet to write a Conan book.  Can you imagine the frustration Robert (or Jim those close to him called him) must have felt as he knew he was dying.  He created ample notes and directions in order for the series to be completed.  
Harriet has worked hard to make sure that Robert Jordan would be pleased with the outcome of the series he started years ago.
I believe that an Orange Ajah could exist.  I believe that it would be a very popular choice for when you are on a zest quest you are filled with happiness and fulfillment.
