Stephen King
People seem to think there's a magic formula to writing, i just write 1 word at a time.
Stephen King

Because spell-check won't [help] you if you don't know through from threw. I told them, If you can read in the 21st century, you own the world. Because you learn to write from reading.
Stephen King

Stephen King
