I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing.

Stephen King (via psliterary)

Impossible. The writers of Thor 2 and 3 are clearly fearless.

Bad writing is more than a matter of shit syntax and faulty observation; bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do― to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street.

This may be the most important, valuable sentence Stephen King ever wrote. All writers should recite it to themselves thrice daily.

I’m George RR Martin 

growing up in maine us writers were of course always comparing ourselves to stephen king.  TURNS OUT HE’S FUCKING WRITER GEORG

“average writer writes 3 books a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes 1 book per year. Steven King, who lives in cave & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Stephen King is the challenge I set for myself daily.

@deadcatwithaflamethrower

Yes, Mister King is one of my influences. Oh, the happy storyteller in his happy little cave…

I hated high school. I don’t trust anybody who looks back on the years from 14 to 18 with any enjoyment. If you liked being a teenager, there’s something wrong with you.

Stephen King (via quotemadness)

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
