Imagine being his publishing company. Hey George, if its not too much to ask, will you have your book done in the next decade? Professional author George: Ah no, sorry, no can do, I dont think so.

Stephen King told him how he should be writing four years ago.

Marveled Martin: I think, Oh, Ive had a really good six months Ive written three chapters! and youve finished three books in that time.

King replied: Heres the thing: There are books and there are books. He explained that he writes for three or four hours each day and tries to produce a half dozen fairly clean pages in that time. So if the manuscript is, say, 360 pages long, thats basically two months work but thats assuming it goes well.

Martin pressed: You dont ever have a day when you sit down there and its like constipation you write a sentence and you hate the sentence, and you check your email and you wonder if you had any talent after all and maybe you should have been a plumber? Dont you have days like that?

King said nope, though added that real-life matters sometimes intrude.
