It does seem like the authors who get the most flack are the ones who have extremely long gaps. We've been waiting over 7 years for Rothfuss, Butcher has been over 4 years. Butcher I can understand, he was churning out books at a pretty good rate before this lull. Rothfuss is harder to understand. He's only produced 2 books. He talks about a lot of potential books, but he really needs to get going. Frankly, once you lose your audience, it's pretty hard to get it back.
At various times Jerry Pournelle use to talk about the need for discipline and forcing yourself to write every day.
