Stephen King! We’ve praised his book on writing and pointed out that he’s probably a great guy. We’ve written a story or two he’d probably like. And now it’s time to take a look at what he looks like laughing.
Pretty good! He seems like he’d be such a good neighbor….
…as long as you didn’t build your house over an old forgotten cemetery or something.

His book On Writing is brilliant. I know what I’m reading again tonight.

Am I some literary pariah for still not having read anything by him?

I doubt that. All I’ll say is you’re missing out.

Thanks — can you recommend a short but quality one to get my teeth into?

There aren’t any short ones, as far as I know. Maybe a collection of short stories? All Dark, No Stars or Nightmares and Dreamscapes, perhaps

Thanks very much, I’ll look out for these.

His “On Writing” is one of the best books on the craft out there. The advice to write a first and second draft “with the door closed” ie, w/o showing it to anyone, changed my life as an author.

These are great pics of Stephen King. I teach English Lit at college, and I consider him one of the great writers of our time–shhhh, that would be the sound of lightning bolts coming my way from the upset academic gods.
