The Shining. A preternatural Talent.

In my years at High School, I did poorly in English because I couldn’t be bothered with Shakespeare or Austin. My real love was Stephen King.

How The Art of Storytelling Helped Stephen King to Survive

In the semi-autobiography On Writing: A Memoir of a Craft, Stephen King turns his attention to the process that he has yielded in this craft, which provides the definitive statement, not on writing itself, but on what it means to Be Stephen King. After the dramatical accident which happened to him in 1999, the writing was a struggle, at first. But soon Stephen King found that writing was like a soothing balm for his injured body. In this way, King suggested that writing is a part of life that should not be the centre of life, but a support to it that all writers should embrace.
