"I’m one thing as a writer: the book is the boss. The writer has two choices
when he sits down, he can either say, "I’m the boss of this thing," in which
case, he’s going to get his ass kicked, or he can say, "I’m going to let this
book be the boss and tell the story it’s going to tell."
Speaking for a cause – Authors Stephen King and John Irving joined forces for a
special event on June 24. "An Evening with Stephen King" benefit for the Maple
Street School Scholarship Fund raised nearly $40,000. The money raised will help
support one-third of Maple Street School students through financial assistance.
Mr. King read from his upcoming novel "Lisey’s Story," and discussed the craft
of writing along with his friend John Irving in an interview with The Manchester
Journal.
