I mean, none of that is true, and Herbert stated he had parts of Messiah and Children written before Dune was even finished.

In the forward to Heretics of Dune: "Parts of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune were written before Dune was completed. They fleshed out more in the writing, but the essential story remained intact."

A sequel to Dune (1965), it was originally serialized in Galaxy magazine in 1969, and then published by Putnam the same year.

I forget where the rushed admission and poor quality was blamed on the periodical and premature release, but am certain that is somewhere out there.

Parts of the serialized story were fleshed out and became Dune.
