he's embarrassed? i just read carrie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. blew my mind, now i'm reading the dead zone

the way Stephen King expresses himself in such a detailed way is so amazing.
Carrie - one of his shortest novels - took him nine months to write and it's still epic, just like every other book of his.

As I have said before, why his movies fall short of the novels in general is that Stephen King's most impressive ablity is not so much the plot(aside from the Gunslinger series(his Magnum Opus and long term work)), but the way he describes things and his ability to narrate like the character he is focusing on. :D

No disrespect to any other author, but Stephen King by a bloody mile is the greatest author of all time. His books got me into reading and for that, I will always be thankful :)

Give it up for his honesty.

I have endless respect for King, he is my hero and idol.

I've never taken a creative writing class where I was "taught" how to write. You can't teach writing, but creative writers are some of the best people to run and facilitate critique sessions, which is what a creative writing class should be. It should be about telling fellow writers what worked and what didn't and to give ideas for novels and short stories to read to grow their knowledge of writing.

CARRIE is a pretty fun read. One of my favorite parts, is reading about the rocks falling from the sky. Original teen horror.

The quote I use in class is "The more I practice the luckier I get" - and although originally said by a golfer it is true in life too and very much with writing.

..and The Green Mile and Shawshank and Stand By Me and The Shining and Misery?  The guy has written so many great books that have been made into great films.

He's the quentissential aspect to horror..carrie still haunts me to THIS DAY

Has anyone seen the movie 'The Mist', based on one of Mr. King's short stories.  It is a very awesome movie!

Damn. It's a shame it got cut off at "I certainly knew how outsiders felt." Now I'm curious; I want elaboration, lol

Such a legendary story about how Carrie was saved.

he is what i would call A REAL LEGEND. He's amazing. My favorite book from him is IT

I love both the book and the film, CARRIE is my #1 SK book!

The guy that is interviewing him nods so much...

Great interwiew of a great writer.

yeah good mind on mr king. i was 7 years old when my older cousin finished 'pet sematery' he left it there in our house..i asked my mom if i could read it,she said no,i was pretty sad,so i snuck it into my room and read it every night. i must've used the dictionary a hundred times to get some words right but,yeah that was my first book ever..i've been a fan ever since

Such wisdom... I bow to this man.
