Stephen King
Do you need someone to make you a paper badge with the word WRITER on it before you can believe you are one? God I hope not.
Stephen King
Well, I'm like a drug addict, I'm always saying I'm going to stop, and then I don't, what I've said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive.
Stephen King
Grammar is...the pole you grab to get your thoughts up on their feet and walking.
Stephen King
For me, good description usually consists of a few well-chosen details that will stand for everything else.
Stephen King
There's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all.
Stephen King
