Hello, my name is Eric. I am a truck driving wanna be writer who listens to far to much king. Audio books are wonderful, especially The Dark Tower series which I have listened to about seven times. I hope that one day I grow to be half the writer Mr. King is.

Well, anyway thats me.

Audio grabs you in a way reading cannot. The hurried eye can miss a word or two but in audio, it really paints a vivid picture in the mind. The characters actually have their own voice and way of speaking unlike when reading. I love it, it keeps me driving for hrs and I dont even realize it. Being a truck driver, that is wonderful.

Thank you, all of you. Such a warm welcome by fellow King fans. He is my inspiration, as I am an aspiring writer. I could never hope to reach his degree but with hope, luck, an insain amount of hard work and determination, perhaps one-day I will be good. :)

No I only write when stopped and the CB doesn't work, yet. :) I don't think I'm very skilled at writing, but I try cause I love it and my imagination likes to create a world to live in. Lord knows the drkving world is boring enough to warrant it. :)
Have you ever thought about using a voice recorder so you could dictate your story while you're driving (consider that your first draft) and then polish it later when you've reached your destination? There could be some danger in that, too, though if recent studies are true about driver distraction. I guess that would depend on your ability to multi-task.
