does anyone else wonder how mr king puts out so many books so quickly? does anyone know how long it took him to write his super long books like the stand and it? like he and owen king just put out sleeping beauties now hes coming out with the outsider? is he writing two stories at once? that blows my mind! lol. is flight or fright new stories? I was a little confused on what this book was about. the outsider sounds really good i can't wait for it to come out! anyway i always thought it was so amazing how quickly he can pump out books!

He's got a Muse chained up in the guest room.

I don't know how he works it out these days but in his younger years he said he'd stagger his books, wrote them concurrently, and often times would lay aside one novel for a while to pick up the strand of another novel. I think he got in the habit during college of collecting his WIPs in a drawer and just kept the train moving at full speed. He's joked in interviews that in his early career he had so many ideas vying for his attention that he could barely keep up with his fingers as they raced across the typewriter.

I think he may be using that guy who wrote for Lawrence Sanders and Robert Ludlum, after they passed away.

I don't care how he does it as long as he does

 

[Kurben]

The answer is rather simple; because he is The King!!

Maybe go straight to Outsider (just a thought).

Or get a copy of Sleeping Beauties from your local library first. Not that I am trying to discourage you from buying the book, or anything. It seems it is one of those "difficult" books, with some people having a hard time finishing it.

This isn't the most flattering of pictures, still it's similar to what I was thinking (only substitute the word(s) "pen", "typewriter" or "computer keyboard" for the word "book")

In a word: gifted. Not trying to be glib or anything, and I'm not speaking out of blind loyalty to the man. But that's really what it boils down to. I honestly don't know if I'll ever see another writer like him in my lifetime.

As far as how long it takes to write: most of his books have the dates at the end.
