Stephen KingLetโs talk, you and I. Letโs talk about fear. The house is empty as I write this; a cold February rain is falling outside. Itโs night. Sometimes when the wind blows the way itโs blowing now, we lose the power. But for now itโs on, and so letโs talk very honestly about fear.

Stephen KingWhen I knew I was going to be able to write full time, I wondered, "What's going to happen to the relationships within my family?" Are they going to change? Is it going to be the kind of deal where you say, "I can't take this! Get me out of here! I can't stand these screaming kids!" The way it turned out was, I was able to change the diapers okay, after I stuck the pin through my fingers a few times. I had a dawning realization that children are not particularly hard to deal with.
