We like to think about how smart we are. but i think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. you can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.

More From Stephen King

If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "well this isn't too bad, i don't have a left arm anymore but at least nobody will ever ask me if i'm left-handed or right-handed," but most of us would say something more along the lines of, "aaaaaa! my arm! my arm!"
Voice Optimism Hopeful
Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than basic for that purpose. that language was joss, which predated basic and was beautiful. but basic happened to be on a ge timesharing system that was done by dartmouth, and when ge decided to franchise that, it started spreading basic around just because it was there, not because it had any intrinsic merits whatsoever.
Beautiful Merit Purpose
The optimist in me wants to believe sexuality will eventually become like handwriting: there’s no right way and wrong way to do it. we’re all just wired differently. it's also worth noting that when you meet someone, you never bother to ask if he’s right or left-handed. after all: does it really matter to anyone other than the person holding the pen?
Believe Way Doe
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
One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. your voice can change the world.
Cities Voice World
All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... we do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents. we do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
