Stephen King is one of my favourite writers. I've been reading his stuff since I was 16 when I first picked up 'Christine' and his words scared me so badly I couldn't turn out the light for around 2 months.
Thanks Steve... really, thanks.
Great writers can make you do anything from what happened to me when I was 16, to making sure all the wardrobe doors are closed. And yes, that happened to me when I was around 35 years old and I read 'Night Shift' and I came across 'The Boogeyman'. Soon after I read that story, I had a boyfriend stay over and he laughed at me for wanting my wardrobe door closed completely, then I got him to read that story. The moment he finished it, he got up and made sure all the doors around the house were closed - not just the doors in the room we were in! Then, he wouldn't let me turn out the bedside lamp...
So, sometimes, it gets us all thinking how a great writer like Stephen King writes great works like he does - and still keeps coming up with new work all the time. Well, there's a list that's been running around of the 20 guidlines he lives by as a writer. And the link is here for you all to look at. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Until my next post, happy reading.
