Advice to WritersQuotes from Stephen King "People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk."
"Fiction is the truth inside the lie."
"Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work."
