Welcome Jake, good to have you here. Just letting you know that Stephen is no longer accepting the writing assignments sorry, but please feel free to stick around and join in on discussions. :)
hi FlakeNoir!

Yeah, I saw that on the other message board. I was just going throw out into the SKMB ether that I wonder if someone would be interested in publishing an anthology of these On Writing Prompt stories. There must be hundreds (thousands?). It would be a cool exercise in how a single premise can produce myriad stories (which, in a way, is exactly what Mr. King is talking about when he provides the prompt in On Writing).

Ideally Mr. King would do this (and include his own response!), but I suspect he's too busy. Is anyone else interested?

Interesting idea. I might just ask Ms. Mod to weigh in on this though. :)

Not something Stephen would have time or inclination to do but anyone else who would like to take on the challenge is welcome to do so as he has no problem with writers publishing their versions of the On Writing exercise.
