It’s an amazing experience to sit down and find out what your characters are going to do by watching the words appear on the screen. I never knew writing could be like that. I always assumed writers think of a story then write it down, but no, for me I’m finding out what happens after my fingers punch out the words. (less)

Another good classic.

I’ve been reading King’s classics. This was another good one. Not quite as good as Misery which has such great atmosphere. Pet Sematary on the other hand is more character driven. Nobody does characters as good as King. I think
