Interviews (Video): Stephen King

Since I’m doing the weekly series Sundays with Stephen King’s “On Writing”, I thought it would be helpful as background to aggregate several interviews with the author.

And finally Stephen King: Yale (4/21/2003): Advice to young writers

Quote: “I think you ought to read a lot and I think you ought to write a lot. Those are really the two major things, you can’t put it off. You have to really do the work, you have to be well read. I don’t have patience for people who say, ‘I want to be a writer, but I don’t have time to read.’ If you don’t have time to read, you can’t be a writer. You’ve got to read just about everything… There’s a magic moment if you read enough, where you put down some book and say, ‘This really sucks. I can do better than this.’”
