aye yah.SERIOUSLY??? That's not weird, that's just f******** up!
I think this is an interesting idea in general. I know one of the strong draws (pun) DT had for me had to do with the obvious connection in sK'sa mind between what he was writing and what already existed in terms of Eastwood's and Leone's The Man With No Name movies, most of which I'd seen and which all convey that particular brand of a hero mythos.I've had my girls read BLAZE in conjunction with OF MICE AND MEN, since the connection is clear. It's really interesting to see them light up when making comparisons, then to see them take off into other books by both authors, still exploring points of comparison. I, for one, am glad he pulled BLAZE out of the trunk and sent it out into the world. The girls have now devoured most of Mr. King's books, and ventured into Steinbeck's shorter books. When they've finished EAST OF EDEN, my job is done
I read somewhere recently an sK quote something to the effect that writing about horrors gets them out of himself. It's a way of dealing with them. I guess one of the questions I'd ask him is if he's tormented at all, either routinely or infrequently by thoughts or even how awful the world can be, and if so if that's what he means when he made that quote.I have always wondered if Stephen has questioned his sanity while writing; I know I have wondered if these ideas I'm consuming will ever come back and "influence" my actions...but then again the crazy don't know they're crazy, right?
I think that was Dean's part in the King/Koontz collaboration....following the release of ON Writing, did you contemplate a companion piece called OFF Writing?....
Well you can make paper out of dryer lint....Please ask him if he thinks there could be a market for belly button lint. I do.
...don't be a hater....I think that was Dean's part in the King/Koontz collaboration.
He'd say, "Gimme five bucks." Not really.I'd ask him how to go about being an extra in one of his movies, and if he'd put in a good word for me.
I'm not really, it was just too good to let pass. xox...don't be a hater....
Oh, heck yea! Only, I just want a letter, no words or paragrsghs, just a letter...@kingricefan if I make a piece of paper out of my belly button lint, would you like me to send you a letter?
