I have a question that i hope someone will comment back to me regarding this. My question is; What is Stephen kings main inspiration to write these amazing stories? I have many dreams and dreadful horrific nightmares which i can sit and write about and maybe one day be able to start off as Stephen king did himself with short stories. Who would i need to write to about this? I could write so many and by the following morning, have so many more to write out. Was it Stephen kings dreams or nightmares that inspired this creative author from the beginning? ??

In StephenKing.com - The Library there are individual links to every story written by Stephen King. For some of the stories there is included 'inspiration'. Too, in some of the short story collections, King has an afterword in which he describes something of a story's genesis and that description at times includes inspiration. I don't recall any specific dreams or nightmares. I do recall King writing that for Cell, say, he happened to see a man walking toward him, the man engaged in conversation...yikes!...no one else present...but it turned out the man had one of those...what are they called? Headsets? Handsets? for his mobile phone and he was talking to someone not just the invisible people or the Goddess of The All-Illinois Church of the Modern Jesus.

Wow, I haven’t read “Cell” yet, but I see those people all the time and always get un-nerved. Sometimes I have to look a person over three or four times before I see their ear gadget.

My birth mum died(sucide) when i was 11 months old. I lived with my grandparents. I suffer(like STephen fry) from Bipolar Depression and stress/anxiety(i didn't get an all A leaving cert i was so nervous). I have the Bipolar under control. But as for stress/anxiety pretty much. I have forgotten what it's like to kiss a woman(anybody will do at this stage) so i am single.
