Thanks Myrah. This is a good one! Agree with Shimon, terror not the finest. I think perhaps erotic and terror are two of the easier emotions to evoke – but nothing is easy.
I don’t read King’s books because I do not like scary stories, but I like some of his writing quotes. I especially liked “what separates the talented individual from the successful is a lot of hard work.”
GOOD ONE. i AGREE, WE ALL KNOW THAT, AND PERSEVERANCE FURTHERS.. Have you read Dark Tower sires , masterpiece in my opinion. Not much scary stuff – much fascination pulls you on. Simone’s recorded all of these on tapes – hes very good, Outstanding reader.. Cant recall his name this moment and too
tired to go and look for them. Steve King will tell you how he is.
I have read his book on writing and learned a lot. I also am not a reader of his books, but he has a lot to say about the craft of writing.

Thanks, Bruce. We all agree that terror is not the finest. I enjoyed the read. I don’t even read Stephen King. His stuff gives me bad dreams.

Very interesting quotes. I agree with a lot of them… but not that terror is the finest emotion.
