I enjoyed this book very much, and related very strongly to it... as the method that Stephen seems to employ in his writing is very much like my own. I originally thought that my own style was unique, and that something was wrong with my way of thinking when I abandoned plot and allowed my characters to write the story themselves. This was very encouraging to find that you employ the same technique.. however I was disappointed when I found out that the writing assignment could not be turned in any more. I jumped in and worked on the assignment with excitement and anticipation, but the moment I found that I could not send it in was dispiriting to say the least. I should have expected that, you are obviously a very busy man, and I am a small fish in a really big river. Thanks for the encouragement... keep up the good work. I enjoy your imagination almost as much as I enjoy my own.

Hahaha, I LOVE STEPHEN KING! Like i love his books, the way he writes, his ideas, everything. Whenever i hear his name or a name of his books my heart starts beating fast, my legs feel weak, as if they are made of cheese, i get crazy XD. I have read some of his books. My favourite one is Salem's Lot. All his books make me scared and maybe even terrified. I often cant go to sleep or leave the book i am reading because i f***g like it. I am just soo inlove with Stephen King. But it is just a dream meeting him - as if wantin to meet the president of the USA. Though Steve is better than him!

I've been reading Stephen King for many years. On Writing inspired me into becoming an author myself. It's a hard process, but I'm trying. Thank you, Stephen King. You're one of my top influences when it comes to the who's who of horror fiction.
