Stephen King is a horror writer who writes novels. He writes in a pretty special way, as he doesn’t know how his horror stories will end. He tells that some of his colleagues (or other horror writers) always start with the last line. That mean they know every single line, detail and so on, before they even start. But not Stephen King. He starts somewhere and then ends up a complete other place. He let his imagination and story get formed by what he already has written – he let the story make itself and make what he already has written inflate himself to something new. For example he tells about a character called the mumbler which he think is fun to write about, but is only a small and more or less indifferent character, but develops itself to a more and more important part of the story. So he let himself inspire of what he already has wrote but also his surroundings. For example he wrote a lot of kids, when he had young kids himself. When he is done with a book he only accept if it’s good enough to be read twice.
Stephen King has written, and is known for the shining, which scare me a lot. Some of the things that scare me the most are actually kids. Of course not normal kids on the street and so on, but kids in horror movies is the absolutely worst. I don’t know why, but I think it’s because kids is nice, pure and not evil at all. And when they in movies are, it’s just so scary. It would be like if you took an angle and made it dark, evil and full with blood.
