so i guess i'm supposed to make my newbie post? well then. been a SK since middle school, favorites are officially the dark tower, (which i'm just now finishing), i'm 30, love listening to soundtracks (as it happens i'm listening to the dark tower soundtrack right now), and i actually made an account specifically so that i could pose an inquiry to whom it may concern.. i suppose an admin at this point will be able to help with that one.

i'm listening to the dark tower magnum opus (and oh, indeed, it is. i wish i had gotten started much sooner. i'm beyond hooked). i have seen the film and really enjoyed it.

as it happens, while listening to the journal entries post song of sussanah in which SK chronicles the writing of the series, the urge to finally get back into writing stories as a hobby (and yes, attempt to self publish), crashed into me, along with, as Ka would have it, ideas. so this time, i actually began looking for any info stephen king has for aspiring writers (and it is a satisfactory plethora to be sure)

and that is where the inquiry comes in. i am soon going to begin working on a supernatural drama/thriller set involving pagan gods and their mortal followers, taking place in history, modern, and future ages. one of the stories involves Thoth, and the only adequate title i could arrive at for that particular installment is "Word Processor of the gods" which of course is one of stephen king's works and i need to make sure i do not infringe on any copyright matters involved. if any admins (or, Ka will it, mr. king himself) could provide illumination on this issue, i would much appreciate it.

alas, i'm babbling (hmmm.. i do find typing to be a rather pleasant activity..)
thanks for having me. long days and pleasant nights.

I'm brand new here, but I have to cosign on reading On Writing. I recommend the print edition v audio. Because, writing. This book put me back on the keyboard after a loooooong wall of silence. Highest recommendations for On Writing.
