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.
When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, he knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‘Why, God? Why me?’ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‘There’s just something about you that pisses me off.’
