I'm Ana and happy to meet you. This is my first post as you can probably see.
I wanted to ask you if there is any posibility to ask SK a few questions, though I know he is not into this groupie thing and ... he is a writer and a capricoius behaviour is natural for him, so we can't expect him to answer us
I'm doing his profile for my dissertation and I would kill for some words of him, nothing garish or intruding, I'm interested about Stephen, the human...questions like: what is he eating for breakfast? I have always wondered about the human that wrote that things that kept me breathless till the last page.
Many thanks! And Mr. King, talk to your fans! You would make their day!

Hi Ana, nice to meet you! Welcome aboard! :) I think old guys like Stephen King are big into Grape Nuts for breakfast...that or Buddha. Maybe he heads over to the local diner, shoots the breeze talks politics and weather with the regulars. So what kind of bibliography will your dissertation be when you are complete?

Welcome to the site, Ana. Stephen doesn't personally respond to messages posted on the MB, but if you'd like an insight to 'the man' you might try reading his Non-Fiction book On Writing. It won't likely tell you what he has for breakfast, but you'll pick up many other little gems. :biggrin2:
I reckon Stephen King is a bake beans on toast for breakfast sort of guy.
Hello!

I can answer that question: Stephen King eats Dean Koontz for breakfast.

(Sorry Koontz fans, couldn't resist)
I didn't post a reply too the baked beans thing. My favourite breakfast meal is definitely baked beans on toast. Just make sure you have the two cigarettes before the meal otherwise if you have them after, you will have a energy downer.

Thank you!
I read 2 times SK's "On writing" and some articles about him and ofcourse his books, but who wouldn't love the author's answers?
My work is about the "journalistic profile", a slightly neglected style in my country. And the profiles are for famous authors and their writings, a huge neglected issue (reading).
In my thesis I'm counting on the idea that the author is a character who creates characters and that's why he is worthy of interest in his human dimension. More, that the brilliant worlds that the author creates interfereas with his real one. And more, it's difficult to write a vivid and genuine profile to a person you don't know personally, but this is the challenge because when it comes to writers we can only hold their works and go deeper and bla bla...you get me. Don't you?
Yeap, he eats Dean Koontz for breakfast ... with two large cups of coffee, somkes a cigarette and after he starts writing! .. I wonder if he is still smoking.
