Writers write. Right?

Yes.

But!

The smart writers know when to shelve a work-in-progress.

Case in point: I recently finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King.

It’s a time travel story that centers on this question: what would happen if JFK had lived? I CRUSHED ON THIS BOOK SO HARD. Here’s the thing about King: he is so versatile, and he has evolved so much as a writer. So if you tried him in the past, meaning decades ago, and he wasn’t your cup o’ tea, consider trying him again. Consider this book!
