    In early 90's I was sick at home laying on my bed, already had been two days. TV offered nothing to watch and I've already read all my comics, playing Nintendo didn't interested me either, so I was getting really bored. I asked my older brother to play with me: with cards or battleship or anything, but he hadn't time at the moment. Instead of killing some time with me and keeping me entertained he said: "Why don't you read a book?", and handed me over Stephen King's Four Past Midnight short story collection which is thick as a brick!
    I was about 12 years old and never read a single book... I thought that would be really boring... and couldn't really understand why the people read books anyways. But my brother said there's really good, compelling and very scary stories. and was like "yeah, right..." But when he went away I opened that book and decided to give it a chance: "So, entertain me, mr. King! Give me your best shot! Bring it on!"
    The first story was the Langoliers and it totally blew me away, dragged me into this amazing world of imagination. Sooner than I noticed I _was in that world_ mister King was created with his very irresistible story telling ability! I saw everything, heard everything, smelled everything, felt everything he wanted me to... _I really was there!_ That's what it felt like and still does. I read that book -thick as a brick- in two days. And I was so amazed... how in the fuck a book can do that? It was better than watching a movie! Since then I have read all the Finnish editions of his works, over 60 now. And he drove me to read so many other writers too. I am very glad that I had that experience - King experience! - at the beginning of my reader career, because lousy and boring author would've probably driven me totally away from the literature.

    Ideas come from random places and at random times. It's important to capture them and see if something develops. Sometimes it's a dead end but sometimes it's a story that practically writes itself but if you don't recognize it, if you don't capture it by jotting it down on a napkin, a notebook, whatever, you'll never know.

    This group is eerily silent!?
    I had a step grandfather whom had a place in his garage where he "treated" creatures caught in a live trap..
    He introduced me to it at 6 years old.
    Even that small I thought, "WTF" and "No f-ing way I want to watch next time you empty the trap..
    I'm fairly certain he was a serial killer but I have 0% proof.
    Even having investigated him it was so long ago when people didn't know about such monsters.
    Point is, I was exposed multiple times to a monster and Stephen is the writer..?

      The idea is that curse words are bad in themselves, the utterance is what is vicious so that anyone who hears them is subject to the viciousness as well. A story or account of murder need not be vicious or corrupting in itself. "John killed James," will not encourage someone to go out and kill, but to say "go f%#k yourself," will cause someone to more easily use the word "f%#k"

    By now, hopefully everyone knows to skip to 15:18 to avoid all the insipid blather...At any rate, at 19:08 King mentions Ed McBain and Evan Hunter both, which, oddly enough are the same writer. In King’s latest book “If It Bleeds” McBain and John D. McDonald are mentioned in 2 of his novellas, so he obviously has always held these writers in high esteem. Having reading over 20 novels between these two authors myself, I can attest to their high caliber as story tellers.

    Uno dei miei compiti in quanto scrittore è quello di assalire le vostre emozioni e forse di mangiarvi - e per far questo uso tutti gli strumenti disponibili. Forse sarà per spaventarvi perché vi amo e vi odio, ma potrebbe anche essere per prendervi in modo più nel dito sul ano, per farvi sentire tristi. Riuscire a farvi sentire caldi è positivo. Riuscire a farvi freddi è positivo. Farvi urlare, ridere, piangere, e sublime ma non mi importa, ma coinvolgervi, farvi fare qualcosa di più diverso che mettere il libro nello scaffale dicendo: "Ne ho finito un altro", senza nessuna reazione. Questa è una cosa che odio amo . Voglio che sappiate che io "sono tutto nei libri che scrivo".

    It must get old being asked, "Where do you get your ideas?" Reminds me of the Seinfeld where some guy asks Jerry at a party where he gets his material, and Jerry responds something like, "I hear a man's voice, but it only speaks in German, so I need a translator."
