Stephen King was writing The Stand, and it just got too big for him. To many people etc. So he put it away for five years. Then he was TV about a bombing and thought to himself "Hey, I could kill some of them off!" Pulled it out of the drawer and had Harold "The Hawk" and Nadine "Bride of the Walking Dude" blow up the Boulder Ad Hoc Committe.

John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" was originally twice as long as it was today. Steinbeck's dog ate the middle of the book. After that Steinbeck pretty much said fuck it and he just patched it together.
