People seem to think there's a magic formula to writing, i just write 1 word at a time.
Stephen King
She is a cat with a burning tail, an ant under a microscope, a fly about to lose its wings to the curious plucking fingers of a third-grader on a rainy day, a game for bored children with no bodies and the whole universe at their feet.
Stephen King
I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that.
Stephen King
Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to club someone with it.
Stephen King
One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal.
Stephen King
I tend to scare myself.
Stephen King
Showrunning is a thing where you have to work with tons of different people. You have to schmooze people, you have to talk to network people. I don't want to do any of that.
Stephen King
Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons why you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It’s not just a question of how-to, you see it’s also a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.
Stephen King
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
Stephen King
You cannot friend a hawk, they said, unless you are a hawk yourself, alone and only a sojourner in the land, without friends or the need of them.
Stephen King
I have the world's best job. I get paid to hang out in my imagination all day.
Stephen King
I thought it was great fun to scare people. I also knew it was socially acceptable because there were a lot of horror movies out there.
Stephen King
The bad ideas kind of just drop out of the mix. You forget about them. The good ones stick around.
Stephen King
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Stephen King
The shining. It was a good name, a comforting name, because she had always thought of it as a dark thing.
Stephen King
...belief has a second edge. If there are ten thousand medieval peasants who create vampires by believing them real, there may be one - probably a child - who will imagine the stake necessary to kill it. But a stake is only stupid wood the mind is the mallet which drives it home.
Stephen King
In the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives. . . .
Stephen King
Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight.
Stephen King
But who can foresee such things? None of us can predict the final outcomes of our actions, and few of us even try most of us just do what we do to prolong a moment's pleasure or to stop the pain. And even when we act for the noblest reasons, the last link of the chain all too often drips with someone's blood.
Stephen King
The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.
Stephen King
