Hi,

I read Stephen King's On Writing and it inspired me to pull my stack of old short stories off the shelf and take another run at them. I want to thank Mr. King for his excellent book. In addition to being a delightful read, it's got the juice flowing again and provided enough guidance for real improvement on the work. Really, really appreciative.

As an exercise, I packaged my thank-you up in a little piece I wrote on discovering Stephen King later in life, in spite my resolute intent to avoid such a fate. I thought he might find amusing. So I'm wondering how I can pass it along to him.

Thanks in advance for your help.
