Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.
Stephen King
Image
Every liberal in the country must watch Fox News for one year, and every conservative in the country must watch MSNBC for one year. (Middle-of-the-roaders could stick with CSI)

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.

Tracking account planning is rather like counting a mixed batch of tropical fish. You think you see patterns, but they've all changed by the time you've finished counting.
Stephen King
Image
My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.
Stephen King
Image
What I'm saying is that I'm trying to find rational reasons to explain irrational feelings, and that's neveer a good sign.
Stephen King

Definition of a wanderer: a guy who's always looking beyond.
Stephen King
Image
All you imagined, no matter how wild it might seem, was no more than a disguised version of what you already knew.
Stephen King
Image
Memories are contrary things if you quit chasing them and turn your back, they often return on their own.
Stephen King
Image
The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn't real. I know that, and I also know that if I'm careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.
Stephen King
Image
The crazy people of the world...shouldn't get to win. If God won't make it better after they do have their shitty little victories, then ordinary people have to. They have to try, at least.
Stephen King
Image
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
Image
Books are a uniquely portable magic.
Stephen King
Image
I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.
