"How IT happened" essay

**GeorgiesArm** · December 29th, 2011

Has somebody here read King's 1986 essay "How it happened" about writing the book? Is it interesting? How many pages is it? Thanks!

It's a short essay--you can check it out here.

Thanks for this, Ms. Mod.

A good idea is like a yo-yo--it may go to the end of its string, but it doesn't die there; it only sleeps. Eventually it rolls back up into your palm.

Loved this line!!

I have more pictures of Bangor (the canal) and so on. I took my honeymoon there in October. It was my intent to put my visit to Derry up right away but so far my lovely wife and I have been too busy. It is coming though. We have lots of pictures of scene from the book.

Lucky man you are, what a place to spend a honeymoon!

Can't wait to see the pics.

It was indeed. The honeymoon was actually in Maine overall. We spent a good deal of it in and around Bar Harbor. We were in Derry (Bangor) both the before, Halloween, and the day after. Halloween in Derry is a kick. When I put the photographs up I will give all the details that will interest Sai King's fans.

A late congrats on your wedding, RG! Is your wife a big It fan too or just super nice to have a honeymoon in the places you always wanted to visit?
