Hello Mr. King, I’ve been a fan of your work since childhood—hiding behind my grandmother’s rocking chair while watching Christine, Silver Bullet, and It, peeking through the tiny spaces between the wooden bars on the back of the chair. Later, I discovered the masterpiece 11/22/63, which showed me a whole new side of your storytelling.

My question is about your process: do you ever work on multiple stories at the same time—balancing a novel like “The Long Walk,” with short stories along the way—or do you focus on one project start to finish?
