Hello, this is my first post to SK forum, first ever anywhere actually.
Im reading his “On Writing” Book and just completed the Dick and Jane excercise he talks about in section 5 ending on page 173. He ask us to let him know how it went by sending email to I was unable to find a direct email address to forward my work to. Did you do the excercise and if so where did you send it? Thanks for you help.
How many of you cried when Sadie died? I'm not too proud to admit that I am one.
I didn't cry when she died. But I cried at the end of the book when Jake reunited with the 80-something year old Sadie and his love for her was just as strong in spite of her age and changed appearance. To him she was still the beautiful woman he loved. I felt so sad for him that he couldn't grow old with her.

Didn't cry, but very sad. I need to re-read this, because it really is one of King's finest works.
For me it would be The Green Mile. John, Mr. Jingles, the late night trip out the farmhouse, everything about that book is so powerful.Oh, definitely teared up over that one. Probably the SK character whose death hit me the hardest sincein "Salem's Lot".Susan Norton's
