The wait

[Ravenshire]

But, a burger, even a complex one, has a pretty simple recipe. Sometimes the author can write themselves into a corner and not know how to get out. Or their muse can flee. These things, only time or forced words can fix. For some, forced words may be ok, but to me they'll ring hollow. Stephen Kings "Dark Tower" comes to mind. The accident that nearly killed him made him fear that he would die with the books un-written. I believe the writing suffered for it. "The Wind Through the Keyhole" is the best written post accident "Dark Tower" book in the series. Not originally being an intended part of the tale, he didn't feel pressured to "get it done before he died" and the writing style is much more relaxed and in tune with the pre-accident books.

All said and done, it's still just my tuppence.
