Trying to figure what you mean by that, but am too afraid to ask.
In the spirit of reaching across the aisle for the next couple of years. I'm not sure I can hold off retirement for the entire four of this election cycle.
NopeAny chance on me getting a private message regarding tips to make one stand out... that would help convince the gatekeepers to pass something on?
The next election cycle will start in a little over a year. An Elizabeth Warren presidential run in 2020 is already getting a lot of buzz. Wouldn’t you want to stick around for that?
No help from the peanut gallery, Anyway, don't you have a stick, a stump and a dremel that you should be concentrating on?Nope
I'm at work. They make me leave my toys at home.....No help from the peanut gallery, Anyway, don't you have a stick, a stump and a dremel that you should be concentrating on?
Wait!!!! I don't have a dremel.......is Uncle Steve sending me one for Christmas??!!!????
Send him a letter. See if it gets passed on by Ms Mod.
I may change my mind later, but today the answer would be no.
Nah, I'll just ask him when he phones on Friday for our weekly chat.....Send him a letter. See if it gets passed on by Ms Mod.
It's because I'm clumsy, isn't it?
Knowing you, Stephen will probably get a paper cut on your letter that will end up being infected.It's because I'm clumsy, isn't it?
That's why he calls me instead of having me write a letter.....Knowing you, Stephen will probably get a paper cut on your letter that will end up being infected.
Next phone call, check to see if it's a Boston exchange.
Guy Who Sort of Looks Like Stephen King Makes Extra Cash Brooding in Corner at Corporate Events | GlossyNews.com
Guys, I know you've gotten this a hundred times, but I need to write to Stephen King...
Sorry.
<--- clears throat.
Hi, I'm Scott Terry. Stephen King's novels have been a naughty presence in my life since the sixth grade when I snuck "The Talisman" off my grandmother's shelf without my parents' knowledge or approval. I've been writing just as long, although owing to a gloomy outlook, was convinced to give up fiction for the boring world of academia (with all its citations and passive voice).
I've just read King's "On Writing" however.
I've got a lot to say to him about it and a lot to thank him for. A quick googlin' lead me to these forums and, well, now I feel like just another one of the myriad of cliched, anonymous fan-boys, looking for a quick way to get his address. In my defense, he orders us to write to him. He lays out a formula where a wife hears her husband's menacing footsteps in the hallway. "Now, reverse it!" he says. "Send it in to me."
Well, he wrote that a long time ago. Times have changed. I get that.
I'm thinking I have two options then:
1. I'm curious to know what a forum of King fans will be like, so, maybe, haunt the place for awhile? Make friends? Swap anecdotes? The FAQ says King drops in from time to time, maybe I can catch his ear?
and / or
2. Write my letter and post it here, in the forums, for all to see, including Mr. King, should he stumble on it. I had a few humorous anecdotes of a personal nature I wanted to share, but hell, maybe a forum of King fans would appreciate them as much as he would (if at all)?
I think, maybe, a little of both?
Sorry.

....I think you'll find this band of Constant Readers quite affable and literate, also whimsical and humorous-even occasionally cantankerous and moody-but always welcoming and wonderful....stick around-share the anecdotes and enjoy the camaraderie, but don't expect to hear much from Steve......to borrow from and paraphrase H. P. Lovecraft, he's "The Lurker On The Threshold".......
