=Stephen King - ON WRITING=

//"...most books about writing are filled with bullshit."//

"Your stuff starts out being just for you...but then it goes out. Once you what the story is and get it right-as right as you can, anyway- it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it."

"If you can remeber all the accessories that go with your best outfit, the contents of your purse, the starting lineup of the New York Yankees or the Houston Oilers, or what label "Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys was on, you are capable of remembering the difference between a gerund...and a participle..."

"Good writing is often about letting go of fear and affectation. Affectation itself, beginning with the need to define some sorts of writing as "good" and other sorts as "bad", is a fearful behavior."
