The Last Act of the Creative Process?

**strange** · November 12th, 2009

With everything that's happening at the moment with Stephen King from Under the Dome being released, writing a storyline for American Vampire, a new poem and short story and such it seems he's firing on all guns blazing and more! The announcement of a new Dark Tower book which he won't get to for eight months but is he writing in that eight months I wonder

. I remember reading somewhere (it might be wiki but don't hold that against me) that he was in the last stage of "creative process" back in 2001/2002 maybe and all I have to say is...wow! This about that sort of time what has he released? Blaze, Cell, Duma Key, Just After Sunset, Lisey's Story, etc and now we have Under The Dome and by the sound of it maybe even two more novels somewhere in the works.

I'm reminded of a line I heard in a film about how the main character felt like a tiger and said that tigers are there most alert just before they die...Oh no don't worry I don't expect Mr King (God forbid) to die anytime soon and like most fans I hope he never does (we can dream) but the sort of thing I mean is that maybe this last part in the creative process is giving us something amazing with more depth than in Mr King's previous work. It seems Mr King's got his part in all different projects that its an exciting time to be a King fan

Also now with the board back open there's been two new pieces of information I've heard. 1) a possible sequel to The Shining and 2) a third Talisman book with Peter Straub.

Some nice thougths here

I'm reading Under the Dome currently, 812 pages in, and I've got to say that this is a hell of a page turner, and I really think Sai King's got the best of him ahead! Can't wait for the DT book, just gotto get through V, VI and VII. Just finished Wizard and Glass(Brilliant book, but totaly irrelevant here)
