Once I start work on a project, I donโt stop and I donโt slow down unless I absolutely have to. If I donโt write every day, the characters begin to stale off in my mind โ they begin to seem like characters instead of real people. The taleโs narrative cutting edge starts to rust and I begin to lose my hold on the storyโs plot and pace. Worst of all, the excitement of spinning something new begins to fade. The work starts to feel like work, and for most writers that is the smooch of death.
Stephen KingI still believe in the resilience of the human heart and the essential validity of love;I still believe that connections between people can be made and that the spirits which inhabit us sometimes touch. I still believe that the cost of these connections is horribly, outrageously high... and I still believe that the value received far outweighs the price which must be paid. (From introductory notes.)
