More From Stephen King

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
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.
Writing Thinking People
No one can teach writing, but classes may stimulate the urge to write. if you are born a writer, you will inevitably and helplessly write. a born writer has self-knowledge. read, read, read. and if you are a fiction writer, dont confine yourself to reading fiction. every writer is first a wide reader.
Reading Writing Self
‎if you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
Reading Writing Two
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
If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. you've already read too much. read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you're going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.

Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. the criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true sun. religion is only the illusory sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.
