Hello everybody!
The title of this thread is a little long, but with a good cause.
Let's start from the beginning, as they say.
I'm Alessandro from Rome, 52, King fan since 1987... first novel was The Tommyknockers, and I didn't like it... I need to re-read it, but I can't find time. But I was hooked, because I feel the magic in Stephen's words.
In 2000 circa I read On writing (I already read every single novel by King, at that point), because I always loved to write, at school it was my favourite with math.
I wrote 7 novels since then, using Stephen's suggestions, and the first to be published was a tip of the hat to Mr. King.
I took his idea from On writing, the one with a man who is bullyed by her wife, and I wrote a short story. Then I took that story and made up a novel, that is to this day one of the favourite things I did writing.
The question (and the good cause of the beginning) is: could I use that idea for a novel (I think so) and put on it the "thanks to SK"? And if the novel become a movie, things will change?
Thank you for answering
Alex
