i'm pretty sure i read this in an article a long time ago, but i'm under the impression that when rowling started creating the books, she outlined the entire plot from beginning to end. and she had planned 7 books-- one book to represent each year at hogwarts. i think after the outline, it was the matter of filling in all the little details so that took up all time between releases-- that and the fact that somewhere along the way she got married and had babies. Real life does have a habit of getting in the way =P

so to answer ur question: no, she's not done with it but she knows what needs to be written.
