...book-buyers aren't attracted, by and large, by the literary merits of a novel: book-buyers want a good story...something that will first fascinate them, then pull them in and keep them turning the pages.
Stephen King
Image
The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.
Stephen King
Image
I'd been raised by my parents to believe barfing your feelings on other people was the height of impoliteness.
Stephen King
Image
But this wealth of information produced little or no insight.
Stephen King
Image
When the reader hears strong echoes of his or her own life and beliefs, he or she is apt to become more invested in the story.
Stephen King
Image
I write in the mornings, in the bright daylight. But I get most of my good ideas after the sun has gone down and the dark is on the land.
Stephen King
Image
Sometimes the only thing to do is to take the thing that you must have. Even if someone gets hurt.
Stephen King
Image
The poets continually and sometimes wilfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer.
