More quotes by Stephen King
It's a writer's job to carve with language, to hew close to the bone.
Stephen King
Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.
Stephen King
In many cases when a reader puts a story aside because it 'got boring,' the boredom arose because the writer grew enchanted with his powers of description and lost sight of his priority, which is to keep the ball rolling.
Stephen King
How life did imitate art sometimes. And the cruder the art, the closer the imitation.
Stephen King
A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.
Stephen King
There will be water if God wills it.
Stephen King
I did a couple of writing seminars in Canada with high school kids. These were the bright kids they all have computers, but they can't spell. 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
The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.
Stephen King
Words create sentences sentences create paragraphs sometimes paragraphs quicken and begin to breathe.
Stephen King
you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.
Stephen King
No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Or you don't.
Stephen King
I think a lot of times dreams are nothing more than a kind of mental or spiritual flatulence. They're a way of relieving pressure.
Stephen King
...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.
Stephen King
What is writing? Writing is telepathy.
Stephen King
...writing fiction...is no job for intellectual cowards.
Stephen King
Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Stephen King
Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for long. And it always, at the end, came round to the same place again.
Stephen King
In the years since, I've discovered there's a lot to be said for boredom.
Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
Stephen King
I'm a situational writer. You give me a situation, like a writer gets in a car crash, breaks his leg, is kidnapped by his number-one fan, and is kept in a cabin and forced to write a book - everything else springs from there. You really don't have to work once you've had the idea. All you have to do is kind of take dictation from something inside.
Stephen King
