There's really nothing in common between Stephenie Meyer (juvenile romance) and Stephen King's (horror/mystery) works, so it's actually stupid to compare them.

I just loove the t-shirt...

[SuperLolaloves]

why so few films created by his stories??Gerald's Game , Rage, Library Policeman , End of the Whole Mess, Rose Madder .

so many good movies can be release.. I like the film Green Mile , dreamcatcher was good. But some movies filmed badly. Better had they not showed for his stories.

@misteramerican650 you should feel that way every time you write

[MisterAmerican650]

Since I'm an aspiring writer, If I was there, I would have asked him if there was a magic moment in which you know you've written something good. I always wonder if there is.

@StretchDouche Stephen King's novels have sold far more copies than Meyer's. And as someone who can't write a damned sentence without multiple spelling/grammar mistakes, you're in no position to be saying King doesn't know about writing. He's forgotten more about writing than you or Stephanie Meyer will ever know.
