More From Stephen King

I don't take notes; i don't outline, i don't do anything like that. i just flail away at the goddamn thing. i'm a salami writer. i try to write good salami, but salami is salami. you can't sell it as caviar.
Writing Trying Caviar
As life's pleasures go, food is second only to sex. except for salami and eggs. now that's better than sex, but only if the salami is thickly sliced.
Sex Eggs Pleasure
If you want to be a writer, write. write and write and write. if you stop, start again. save everything that you write. if you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. write. writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.
Writing Creative Juices Want
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
Wall Struggle Moving
I say "on principle" [regarding 'lesbian writer'] because whenever you get one of your minority labels applied, like "irish writer," "canadian writer," "woman writer," "lesbian writer" - any of those categories - you always slightly wince because you're afraid that people will think that means you're only going to write about canada or ireland, you know.
Writing Mean Thinking
It's not possible to advise a young writer because every young writer is so different. you might say, "read," but a writer can read too much and be paralyzed. or, "don't read, don't think, just write," and the result could be a mountain of drivel. if you're going to be a writer you'll probably take a lot of wrong turns and then one day just end up writing something you have to write, then getting it better and better just because you want it to be better, and even when you get old and think, "there must be something else people do," you won't be able to quit.

Moving Writing Fields
Writing is a consequence of having been 'haunted' by material. why this is, no one knows.
Writing Materials Knows
You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. language buries, but does not resurrect.
Death Real Writing
I'll give you the sole secret of short-story writing, and here it is: rule 1. write stories that please yourself. there is no rule 2. the technical points you can get from bliss perry. if you can't write a story that pleases yourself, you will never please the public. but in writing the story forget the public.
