If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
Stephen King
Image
There are all sorts of dream interpretations, Freud's being the most notorious, but I have always believed they served a simple eliminatory function, and not much more - that dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now and then.
Stephen King
Image
JK Rowling created seven Horcruxes. She put a part of her soul in every book and now her books will live forever
Stephen King
Image
I think everybody has experiences from time to time they can't explain. They are peculiarities. Usually we just dismiss them because they are uncomfortable to think about.
Stephen King
Image
That's something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.

I still think that of all the people doing top fiction today, John D. MacDonald is the best.He was my model as a kid. If there are people out there that want to write, all you need to do is read 20 of his stories to get an idea what it takes to make a story kick over.

You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go… well, anywhere at all.

Writing's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.

Terror. When you come home and notice everything you own has been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It’s when the lights go out and you feel something behind you-you hear it-you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around there’s nothing there.
Stephen King
Image
If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.

I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
Image
He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?
Stephen King
Image
Bad writing is more than a matter of (expletive deleted) syntax and faulty observation bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street.

Scaring people, especially in our day and time, is one of the hardest things on earth, as far as I am concerned.

If you liked being a teenager, there's something really wrong with you.
Stephen King
Image
When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

THE THREE is really wonderful. A mix of Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining.

Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston.
