Friendly reminder that Stephen King got so frustrated with the process of writing his first novel that he gave up and threw the incomplete manuscript in the bin. His wife fished it out, read it, and convinced him to finish it. He did, it sold and was titled Carrie. So - although he is kind of an insane writing robot now, even he has had moments of insecurity and frustration with his writing . So if you’re struggling - keep going !
"You don’t ever have a day where you sit down there and it’s like constipation, and you write a sentence, and you hate the sentence? And you check your email and you wonder if you had any talent after all, and maybe you should have been a plumber? Don’t you ever have days like that?” >> George RR Martin is me trying to write my essays.
Dr: Sorry Mr. King, but you have cancer. Stephen King: How long do I get to live? Dr: 6 months. Stephen King: Good, that's 120 more books I can publish right there.
Two giants of literature. King for horror and Martin for fantasy. For a bookworm like me, this is simply awesome to see these two authors share the same stage.
