More From Stephen King

Now, everybody knows the basic erogenous zones. you got one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. ... ok, now most guys will hit one, two, three and then go to seven and set up camp. ... you want to hit 'em all and you wanna mix 'em up. you gotta keep 'em on their toes. ... you could start out with a little one. a two. a one, two, three. a three. a five. a four. a three, two. two. a two, four, six. two, four, six. four. two. two. four, seven! five, seven! six, seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven!

Two Guy Toes
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I suppose i could read more fiction, but i haven't moved in that direction. i'd like more time even though i spend six hours a day reading. people say their eyes get tired, but i've never experienced that. in college i used to read 10 hours a day. my wife says i'm obsessive compulsive. she might have a point because when i was an undergrad student we had the required reading list and the suggested reading list. i always read all the suggested reading too.
Reading Tired Eye
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

Four. that's what i want you to remember. if you don't get your idea across in the first four minutes, you won't do it. four sentences to a paragraph. four letters to a word. the most important words in the english language all have four letters. home. love. food. land. peace. . .i know peace has five letters, but any damn fool knows it should have four.

We always had dogs,so i understood all the joy and the love animals are capable of giving. it's crazy to me that some people have dogs in thier homes, but they treat them more like furniture.

L.a. ispolluted. it's overpopulated. but it is very much home. it was inevitable for me, the moving back. i was living in san francisco, and joan broke it off with me, and i needed a place to live. i'd been divorced. and i needed to write movies and tv shows to earn a living. alimony. all that. so i figured what the hell, i'll go back to l.a.
