Had a great time hearing Stephen King talk last night about his new book and the writing life. More on the event soon! For now, one of my favorite quotes from his talk last night was: "If you're an aspiring writer, don't worry about the business side of publishing. Just get your words on paper. After, you can think about that."
Unfortunately, I didn't get a good pic of Mr. King, but I DID manage to get a signed copy of his book. There were only 250 signed copies available!

| At 849 pages, these make a hefty read in every sense of the word. |
I bet that was a lot of fun!

Thanks, Kathy. It was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Yes, he is such a good oral storyteller. I'll be blogging about his comments next week. He's very down to earth and extremely funny! Thanks for stopping by.
Oh wow, that's so cool that you got to go see him. I read his memoir On Writing recently and was reminded how much I used to enjoy his books. I must get back to them again.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I have been watching this new book - I have not read King in a long time but this one has me considering...
ReplyDeleteVery cool! That must have been a fun evening. I think I'd be interested in hearing what he has to say even though I can't read his books because they're too creepy for me.
ReplyDeleteTime well spent!
