You and me among them

Actually, I don't envy them.
I was furious about the length of time it took For Stephen King to actually finish the little cliffhanger ending of "The Waste Lands". It would be far worse to have to wait to get chapters that could change from JB.
Fox:
Well Jim Butcher is way more consistant with the Dresden Files than Stephen King was with the Dark Tower.
JB's books are coming out yearly, Stephen King's Dark Tower was spread across his whole career.

Huh?
Dark tower came in halfway thru his career and had a long hiatus (I think it was when he went nuts after his incident with the drunk driver) . He then powered out the rest of the story fairly quickly, and closed it with a really stupid ending.
El Diablo:
real quick look up
1975 was his first book salems lot
The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger (1982)
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three (1987)
The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands (1991)
(six fricking year hiatus)
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass (1997)
(accident)
The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla (2003)
The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah (2004)
The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower (2004)
So I was wrong about the accident stopping production, we had a six year wait after the cliffhanger for whatever reason.
