Stephen King’s New York Times essay asks “Can a Novelist Be Too Productive?” But he should discuss “all the clamoring voices” in his head, etc.

He says, “This is not a roundabout way of justifying my own prolificacy…I can say, with complete honesty, that I never had any choice…There were days—I’m not kidding about this, or exaggerating—when I thought all the clamoring voices in my mind would drive me insane.”

My post of June 29, 2015, titled…

Stephen King quoted on Writing: His voices, visions, trances; his becoming or observing autonomous characters; his cowriter muse and discovered stories

…raises the issues he should be addressing.

I addressed prolificacy in my post of July 22, 2014—contrasting Geoges Simenon and William Faulkner—but I’m sure King could say more about it.
