Read an interview with King at Rolling Stone (I bet someone probably has already linked it on the forum somewhere, but if not, it's easy enough to find by searching King's name in a news search). As always, love to hear from him. Curious about a couple things.
Of course, we all are looking forward to Institute. Seems like a cool fall book. The interview mentioned, though, that the next book out in 2020 is If It Bleeds (if I recall the name, I don't have the interview open)...anyone care to guess when that might arrive? Be nice if it came out before Sept, but I doubt it will because he said he has a polish to do on it. Not sure how long that will take. Also said he is working on another book. Wish some premise at least was released on that.
I'm also curious if we are due another short story/novella collection. I know we're still close to Bazaar, but I'm thinking we could be getting close to at least anticipating something in the next couple years? Has King written many short stories at this point?
By the way, too, on that polish issue...funny thing about that is, it must be hard to read over what you wrote. I'm assuming King reads all of his written material before he publishes any of it, unless he somehow streamlines that process (anyone know specifically?). But after having written something so long, going back to polish must take so much time. I'm obviously no writer for the most part and am only a hobbyist (just a couple very small credits in fiction, mostly I freelance non-fiction), but boy do I not like re-reading what I wrote. Nearly impossible for me. I sort of hope for the best most of the time (it's sort of an OCD...it just never seems to measure up, and I just want to keep adding or changing).
