Quote of the Day: Stephen King
November 23rd, 2009 • Posted in Quote of the Day |
“You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair – the sense that you can never completely put on the page what’s in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.”

He ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie. There are some days where I practically have to charge at my computer like a mastodon.

The blank page is scarier and more intimidating than Henry Bowers, Ace Merrill, and Annie Wilkes combined.
