Stephen asked Erin Morgenstern:

Did you struggle with starting your sophomore novel?

Erin Morgenstern I did struggle with the sophomore novel though less in starting it because I already had a few pieces in progress and more in figuring out which pieces to sit with and coerce into book-form. I actually spent a long time working on another piece that just wasn’t coming together before I decided to put it away and work on something else and that’s what eventually became The Starless Sea. It was also difficult because I knew people were waiting for it, but I wanted to get it right.
