Some sentences from chapter 11 near page 220:

"Someone—I can’t remember who, for the life of me—
once wrote that all novels are really letters aimed at one person.
For me that first reader is my wife, Tabitha.
Do all opinions weigh the same? Not for me. In the end I
listen most closely to Tabby, because she’s the one I write for,
the one I want to wow."

Maybe I haven't read enough, or witnessed similar expression of feelings, heck, I'm not even a Stephen King fan, but this couple of sentences are maybe the most beautiful statement of love I have ever seen.

....I don't think I'm overstepping my bounds here by saying that Steve is absolutely and positively devoted to her....he understands what a lucky man he is to have the support, love and caring of such a fine woman-plus one that's not afraid to put a boot in his ass when he needs it.....they are truly a partnership....

They are. She is the brains behind the king "brand" I am convinced with out tabby we whould not have Stephens, Owens or joes writting.. I really do not think so she has her hands on lots, like his radio station, and the three charity's, and not shure if she has a say in his writting contracts or not. But still. I think I whould rather talk to her and niomio over king. Joe is under the other catagory. Lol

Mom it really is, amd they basically where able to still remain like normal people. Perhaps it's because they stayed away from like la or something.

I,am reading the mist and he wrote about how the. in character fell in love with his wife while riding her bike threw the university of Maine at onero. And that she had a brown dress for the party after the wedding, and how he loved her on their wedding night. I,was like u, I think he wrote in tabby their.

You are welcome. I think I may start a thread for his speeches and tv interviews and a separate one for his print interviews. We can all add ones. Last summer I watched a lot of his interviews it helped me calm down and deal kind of.

I was raised sitting around listening to adults tell true ghost stories. It was always about the story. Mr. Kings is a master story-teller, and he takes the time to write them down. My go-to genre is hysterical - opps, I mean historical - romance, but Mr. King has always been on my shelves.

How can you not be a fan after reading On Writing? Asking for a friend....
