“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
— Stephen King. On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft.
“I grew up as a part of America’s lower middle class, and they’re the people I can write about with the most honesty and knowledge. It means that they say shit more often than sugar when they bang their thumbs, but I’ve made my peace with that. Was never much at war with it in the first place, as a matter of fact.”
— Stephen King. On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft.
Writers remember everything…especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he’ll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar. Art consists of the persistence of memory.
— Stephen King. Misery.
