Parenting is the greatest of hum-a-few-bars-and-I'll-fake-it skills.
Stephen King

But writers INVITE ghosts, maybe along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. They make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. And we do it, don't we? Yes. We PAY to do it.

Superhero movies and comic books teach a lesson that runs directly counter to the culture-of-violence idea: guns are for bad guys too cowardly to fight like men.
Stephen King
Image
We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.

But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
Image
Love isn't soft, like the poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.
Stephen King
Image
A cat won't curry favor even if it's in their best interests to do so. A cat can't be a hypocrite. If more preachers were like cats, this would be a more religious country.

In the end we always wear out our worries. That’s what Wireman says.
Stephen King
Image
But there's one thing I'm sure about. An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.

Las personas con un alto nivel de tolerancia al aburrimiento tienen tiempo de sobra para pensar.

It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.
