Writers Laughing: Stephen King

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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.
