I can't lie and say there are no bad writers. Sorry, but there are lots of bad writers.
Stephen King
Image
Just go on dancing with me like this forever and I'll never tire. We'll scrape our shoe on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.

Image
And then the world exploded.

Image
That's the curse of the reading class. We can be seduced by a good story even at the most inopportune moments.
Stephen King
Image
As a rule, I don't worry about genre. I just want to tell a good story, with characters that interest me and my readers.

Life turns on a dime.
Stephen King

It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.
Stephen King
Image
Lying in the bed that had once held two, Lisey thought alone never felt more lonely than when you woke up and discovered you still had the house to yourself. That you and the mice in the walls were the only ones still breathing.

Was it pretty? Your country. . .your land? It was beautiful, the gunslinger said. There were fields and forests and rivers and mists in the morning. But that's only pretty. My mother used to say that the only real beauty is order and love and light.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. When you find something at which you have talent, you do that thing (what ever it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes pop out of your head.
Stephen King
Image
Too often, in novels that are speculative, God is a kind of kryptonite, and that's about all that it is, and it goes back to Dracula, where someone dumps a crucifix in Count Dracula's face, and he pulls away and runs back into his house. That's not religion. That's some kind of juju, like a talisman.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
Stephen King
Image
Everything that goes around comes around, they say, and although I've never been able to figure out who the mysteriously wise sages known as they might be, they're certainly right when it comes to time-travel.
Stephen King
Image
If I kept saying it if I kept reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say 'I can do this' even when you know you can't.
Stephen King
Image
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
