What I learned from reading Stephen King On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King.

单集文稿 ...

  • What is writing?

  • Telepathy, of course.

  • My name is Stephen King.

  • I'm writing the first draft of this part on my desk on a snowy morning in December of 1997.

  • There are things on my mind.

  • Some are worries, some are good things.

  • But right now all that stuff is up top.

  • I'm in another place.

  • This book is scheduled to be published in the late summer or early fall of 2000.

  • If that's how things work out, then you are somewhere downstream on the timeline from me.

  • But you are quite likely in your own far seeing place, the one where you go to receive telepathic messages.

  • Not that you have to be there.

  • Books are a uniquely portable magic.

  • I usually listen to one in the car and carry another wherever I go.

  • You just never know when you'll want an escape hatch.

  • A mile long line at a tolbooth plaza, the 15 minutes you have to spend in the hall of some boring college building waiting for your advisor, airport boarding lounges, laundromats on a rainy afternoon, and the absolute worst, which is a doctor's office when the guy is running late and you have to wait a half hour in order to have something sensitive mauled.

  • At such times, I find a book vital.

  • If I have to spend time in purgatory before going to one place or another, I guess I'll be alright as long as there's a lending library.

  • So I read where I can.

  • But I have a favorite place, and you probably do too.
