curious6141 dont read 11/22/63, its not near his best work. go with the stand, or the long walk, full dark no stars but in my opinion 11/22/63 wasn't very good
@curious6141 11/22/63 is fantastic, albeit a little slow in some spots. It's historical fiction so King had to do a lot of research for it. It certainly isn't like most things he has written but I think that's why I liked it so much. It really is a wonderful little story.
And both those writing pieces were submitted under the watchful eye of the Australian Writer's Guild. Prima facie crime of deception, yet Aust. Fed. Police will only say Get Fucked. Go Figure!
For example I have attended two SAFC screenwriting courses and twice submitted writing as a COMPULSORY part of the course and yet not received feedback on either occasion.
Like if you're a writer or aspiring writer, you have to expect prompt and respectful, even witty return communication in response to your queries. There is especially no excuse for poor form from production or publishing companies when utilitsing e-mail to respond to writer's queries, pitches, etc. It is only fair and reasonable to presume that if as a publisher or producer, you have a thousand manuscripts sitting on your desk, that is cause for immense gratitude...
After watching this I've decided to write my novel and make a collection of short stories at the same time, i love the versatility of being able to switch gears from super heavy duty writing to casual "When its done," writting.
Usually in horror, kids are safe. Not in Stephen King's universe. He'll kill a kid. This is especially apparent in IT, where the very first person in the novel to bite it is six-year-old George Denbrough, the little brother of the main character.
Just to make this painfully apparent, the way he dies: he's half-drowned in a drain and then has his arm ripped off at the joint. Heartless bastard.
Stephen King- complete monster. Hr must be killed as soon as possible.
@karezza1 Who cares how he looks? He is infinitely more talented, intelligent, influential and beloved than you will ever be in your life. Keep your shallow observations to yourself, sport.
We have arguably the greatest modern writer in for an interview. Let's let the guy who gets coffee for everyone else ask the questions - that way we'll get a real "by the seat of your pants" feel to the whole thing.
As an aspiring horror/fantasy writer, Stephen King has been a big inspiration to me. I enjoy reading his books and hope he will continue to write them for years to come. Thank you S.K.
@ChipmunkHQ Dean Koontz is better? Lol:) One beautiful woman with a haunted past one handsome man with a haunted past and a government conspiracy, oh sorry add a golden retriever and you read one Dean Koontz book you read them all.:)
@dorlis1 True. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike him at all, he just takes too long to get to the point sometimes (In Cell, for example). In fact, some of my favorite books are by Stephen King (Carrie, Cujo, the Shining), but you can't deny that he tends to ramble.
@ChipmunkHQ Too bad he isn't in top three sellers in the world. You know why, because in King's books, that proverbial blade of grass isn't the ringleader of a conspiracy.
i've never read a stephen king book, but i would like to someday, but at the moment i am writing, im only 16 so most of you who read this comment probably think i have some dumbass characters and plot line, well its a fantasy/horror set in medieval times. anyways i've written this book once already and im now writing it again for the second time trying to get it right, i have written some short stories though, and im hoping that when my book is finished ill be able to get it published, ty.
@Gauntletdemon That's really interesting! I'm going through hell with my stories. I've started like 5 books, and none of them have made it past word 3,000. It just won't work. I need to find a good "first novel" format, and then come back to this other stuff.
This guys a dork interviewer I need more information for my research paper on Stephen King. Barely touched on the surface of King's writing and thoughts on book and that idiot ends off the interview by looking like a total square. What do I mean? He makes up a random number for King's book he refers too which makes him sound unprofessional as well as inconsiderate and unprepared and also stupid. Then the interview ends with him asking "how about shrinking your book further". Fire this guy.
@chriswood93 OK wait, seriously? This was an interview specifically about Stephen King's short stories and the art of writing them. It was not conducted with fulfilling the needs of your research paper. "Fire this guy"? Eh? Borders went out of business, effectively firing "this guy" - and every single other Borders employee. As for unprofessional, well, thank goodness for YouTube, where good "professional" citizens can flame anonymously, certain that they could have done a much better job.
@bordersmedia Dumbass the title of the movie says "Stephen King on writing" so if I am doing a paper on Stephen Kings writing style and I see a video titled "Stephen King on writing" I should beable to assume its about his writing, which this is not by the 5 minutes of it I watched but I will say though it was 2 months ago since i watched this video in its entirety so I may be a little out of loop and the trouble you took to search 2 months of comments. You bordersmedia are a troll
All great writers start writing short stories, or so it seems. Writing is about mastering the metaphor. I dare not yet to write my first novel, not until I am more comfortable as a creator.

@gensterize Stories Sherlock Holmes is really interesting, but you should try to read Stephen King's books. Maybe you won't like all of them, but i could sure you that you will find some interesting stories :)
Hey sorry to spam, but I am just letting everyone know that I have written a FREE EBOOK Dark Fantasy, if anyone is interested in getting a copy than please come onto my channel, there is a link on the promo video that I made, thanks!
My name is 'Carrie', I was working the 'Night Shift' at the 'Pet Semetary'. It was 'Full Dark No Stars' outside. I turned around and that's when I saw 'IT'. A big red car, it was 'Shining'. I walked over to it and looked inside. I screamed, it was 'The Boogeyman'!
Because he has been so successful the egg heads in their ivory towers resent Mr King to the Nth degree. King's writing above all is down to earth stuff that features realistic believable characters, great description and interesting interaction between major and minor characters combined with interesting plot elements. His characters, even minor ones are never 2D cardboard cutouts. He gives them personality.
if you ever try to make a story smaller, you'll just end up making it even bigger. srsly. writing a story isn't that easy cause you can easily lose your inspiration and the change of your mood can affect it too. it's really hard work to make a good book.
@nina13th I don't dabble much in short stories because that whole publishing thing seems more trouble than with novels, but I started on what I thought would be a 30 page short story, at best, and within a week it turned into 130 pages for a novella.
I always wonder about 'highbrow' people who complain about Stephen King's writing. - Now, I have NEVER read a single word King has written, so I don't know. But it's not just book sales, people geniuinely seem to like his work. And I've heard some really AWFUL ideas come from King's Library. But there's also, Shawshank. With as prolific as he is he must be all over the map, I just can't help but wonder what motivates what comes off as burning hatred. There has to be something.
That's really accurate what he says about writers jumping into novels right away. I'm writing as an amateur and basically my stories are turning into novels. It takes a lot of work and time. I think short stories would season writers better but I don't enjoy them as much.
stephen king found me and saved me by playing the piano for me he is everywhere thanks stephen, he told me today he heard me play the piano and loved it. wow what a profound moment.
you are an amazing guy stephen you are part of my universe as I am part of yours
@rachelsanders2 Yeah, no kidding. Maybe the guy was just afraid of him, though? Or intimidated? Lmao, I feel like he probably didn't even understand or pay attention to anything Stephen King was really saying.
King speaks clearly and in very completely sentences. It's rare to hear that from people, so I really admire that ability. I wonder if it's due to the all the writing he's done or if it's something he developed naturally.
Can't wait for his new book on the timetraveller going back to try and stop the Kennedy assassination.
Also, if you want to try a new(ish) scary book, just Google 'thirteen horror' - you will freak out. It's available in the States but I think the UK and Italy have banned it.
@DateRinasCousin It's the date Kennedy was shot - 22.11.63, I think, or maybe 23.11.63 - can't remember. But it comes out middle of October, so keep your eyes peeled. I can't wait either!
I lived through the Apocalypse, I seen the Antichrist, and beheld his miracles, I seen the world take his mark and thousand killed because they refuse to take it, I was there when he came out of the pit and killed the two Prophets, for they had even tried to kill us, (me and my friends) but we were able to survive. My name is Benjamin and this is my story. order the book Benjamin's Gate at amazon.com
@ofanzivnonestabilan Have you read any of his books? Most people who say someone is an overrated writer have never read their books, so they have no idea what they're talking about.
I am getting a tattoo soon and I am thinking about getting Stephin King tattoo, I've read Misery, Night Shift, Full full dark no stars, Carrie, It, and the green mile, any idea for a Tat?
@sunE8813 No, he's right. King had thrown his manuscript for Carrie in the trash and she puled it out, read it, and demanded that he finish it and send it out.
AMAZON is SCAMMING us. They get an automatic 10% competitive advantage because they don't need to collect sales tax.
Now AMAZON' is even trying to change California Law which would require them to compete on a level playing field & collect normal sales tax for California Education!
AMAZON is just another disgusting predatory corporation that only cares for special privileges, short term profits and BIG BONUSES!
Did you know that Matthew Reilley's hit novel Scarecrow, the very character the book was named after came from a seriese of short stories following a marine captain by the nickname scarecrow.
u know,at the beginning Stephen was poor teacher who lived with his familly (3 kids and a wife) .he started from nowhere. he wrote books and sold them and now he's a millionaire..i respect people like him.big up
Love the King. Sorry, I don't have much relevant conversation continuings, just needed to turn the 499 likes to 500 and the 599 comments into 600...it was bothering me.
Love the King. Sorry, I don't have much relevant conversation continuings, just needed to turn the 499 likes to 500 and the 599 comments into 600...it was bothering me.
@ViperRob42 Have you ever read a book called, Christ, In The Realm of Madness, by Patrick Lewis Strachan? I bought the book on LuLu.com a few weeks ago and was blown away by it. Stephen King was my favourite horror writer, but not anymore. Strachan writes what other writers don't have the balls to write. I'll never think of Jesus in the same way again. I love the scene where he comes face to face with Hitler. A horror masterpeice. Strachan's Castle Brae, best werewolf novel ever written.
@happydays450 cool I'll look into it, the best book I read thats weird & crazy about Jesus is "behold the man" by Michael Moorecock about a guy who goes back in time & finds Jesus as a like.. retarded child and a whore mother and then he basically takes his place in that era, its a crazy read lol
One of my personall favorites are Carry, Cujo and Firestarter (btw the book is better than the movie) I have in my possesion the 7 volumes of Dark Tower and It is fucking amazing. Mr King is one of the greatest writters whose books I have read and if I somehow find myself eye to eye with that man I would stay speechless for 'bout 5 min I just wouldn't know what to say LOL :D
Stephen King and Anne Rice are my favorite authors! King can come up with just about anything to make our minds swirl with fear and thrill! Rice can creatively write historic and brilliant fiction.

@rachelsanders2 Yeah, no kidding. Maybe the guy was just afraid of him, though? Or intimidated? Lmao, I feel like he probably didn't even understand or pay attention to anything Stephen King was really saying.

King speaks clearly and in very completely sentences. It's rare to hear that from people, so I really admire that ability. I wonder if it's due to the all the writing he's done or if it's something he developed naturally.

Stephen King - quite simply, genius.
Can't wait for his new book on the timetraveller going back to try and stop the Kennedy assassination.
Also, if you want to try a new(ish) scary book, just Google 'thirteen horror' - you will freak out. It's available in the States but I think the UK and Italy have banned it.

@DateRinasCousin It's the date Kennedy was shot - 22.11.63, I think, or maybe 23.11.63 - can't remember. But it comes out middle of October, so keep your eyes peeled. I can't wait either!

I lived through the Apocalypse, I seen the Antichrist, and beheld his miracles, I seen the world take his mark and thousand killed because they refuse to take it, I was there when he came out of the pit and killed the two Prophets, for they had even tried to kill us, (me and my friends) but we were able to survive. My name is Benjamin and this is my story. order the book Benjamin's Gate at amazon.com

I Love Borders & HATE Amazon!
AMAZON is SCAMMING us. They get an automatic 10% competitive advantage because they don't need to collect sales tax.
Now AMAZON' is even trying to change California Law which would require them to compete on a level playing field & collect normal sales tax for California Education!
AMAZON is just another disgusting predatory corporation that only cares for special privileges, short term profits and BIG BONUSES!
BOYCOTT AMAZON!!!

@ViperRob42 Have you ever read a book called, Christ, In The Realm of Madness, by Patrick Lewis Strachan? I bought the book on LuLu.com a few weeks ago and was blown away by it. Stephen King was my favourite horror writer, but not anymore. Strachan writes what other writers don't have the balls to write. I'll never think of Jesus in the same way again. I love the scene where he comes face to face with Hitler. A horror masterpeice. Strachan's Castle Brae, best werewolf novel ever written.

One of my personall favorites are Carry, Cujo and Firestarter (btw the book is better than the movie) I have in my possesion the 7 volumes of Dark Tower and It is fucking amazing. Mr King is one of the greatest writters whose books I have read and if I somehow find myself eye to eye with that man I would stay speechless for 'bout 5 min I just wouldn't know what to say LOL :D
