I was quite surprised to find King's latest published work Under the Dome available at my bookstore. I guess when I heard he was not writing any longer I assumed that was it. I was not going to get to read anything that I had not read of his work for the rest of my life. Then it occurred to me that he probably has lots of stuff that he started but never finished or got stuck on an ending. (Hey it happens to me with housework or other aspects of my life; why couldn't it happen to King?)
If I were to ask Mr King one question it would be how many literary works he has started but never has finished or has he ever gotten stuck? Sort of like painting yourself into a corner. Even when you paint yourself into a corner you can simply wait and the paint will dry and then paint the corner. So a story that you are stuck in can become unstuck by looking at it from a different point of view or some marvelous invention will occur and then it all become so simple to solve. So I do wonder if he has become stuck in some of his stories and how many of these unpublished works of his are out there?
