Happy birthday to Stephen King, one of the great writers of our time. His work encompasses horror to literary fiction, and I am convinced he will be remembered in the future as one of the very best writers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
I always look forward to reading his next work, and he has given me many years of reading pleasure. Mr. King, happy birthday to you!
My favorite fiction writer!!

Thank you for liking my Grief poem. It seems contradictory to like Grief, but thank you.

You are welcome–I didn’t mean I like grief, but that I thought you wrote a strong poem. Unfortunately, the buttons only give a “like” option.

While I am not into Horror, his book On Writing was spot on for me!

While I have read some excellent ones, Bird By Bird – Anne Lamott, Writing Down The Bones – Natalie Goldberg and others, it was by far the one I got the most out of.

Wonderful writer, my favourite too – and I didn’t even think I liked horror and fantasy. But the way SK writes just draws you in every time. We writers can learn a great deal and reading his work has enabled me to free up a lot in the right way.

Happy Birthday Mr King! And thanks a lot for checking out my blog 🙂 Yours is great, and you are obviously living the dream.. I’m currently writing a self help book, on recovery from serious mental illness, and a praying I can get it into a good enough state to be published…!! Fingers crossed right?! Take care, and good luck with everything.
