Many thanks, been searching for "what to write a book about ideas" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Yonallie Bookworm Blitzer - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
Misery. One of the best books I've ever read. 11/22/63. Flipping fantastic. Read the Shining. Scarier than the movie. Reading Dr. Sleep now. So far so good. King has a way of pulling me in and I forget my own reality. He's one of the few authors who can do that to me. It's like a readgasm.
Stephen King is legendary! Writing 6 pages per day is his professional system to get work done! I hold great respect for him. He is actually good in this comedy skit!😅
***** Lol! Well it was a writing class, not a literature class so we were being trained to be better creative writers hence why we had to read that book
I read his on writing book and it gives some best tips for writing. One of them i like most is, write whatever comes to mind, edit later. This will help the writers who have hesitation as to how to start. I tried to write 2000 words a day, and still trying my best to reach such thing. Stephen king is one of the writers who can write about writing in such interesting way and he wrote a lot about writing.
This is the only dude whose catalog you can read from beginning to end (60+) books and they all have their own tone and voice. Nothing to relate them aside occasional names that are repeated. Every other author has one pattern and are recognizable once you read one of their books. This man would fool me every time if someone didnt show me the cover and gave me one of his books. Not my favorite, but one of the best fiction writers.
Amazing! King is literally the KING of his expanded universe & I'm just thrilled to be on the ride;/ Been a fan since I stumbled upon DT#1 The Gunslinger on vacation in FLO-ridah back when i was 11
Really should have a warning ont his video for people with high blood pressure or weak hearts with that scary monster that just appears out of left field. Be responsible Stephen/Stephen/CBS. For real though, I remember buying his book "On Writing" and while I don't do anyhting professionally, it made me a much better writer, even just for reports but also for any fictional stuff I write to pass time.
I know most will complain about the comment's section, but if there's one thing that's good about them it's the jumpscare warnings. :P ... I didn't read them in time. :(
As an aspiring writer I would say that the most important component of any story is characters, more so then even plot. If you do not create compelling, consistent characters then the reader will not be invested in the story. A likeable and compelling protagonist makes the reader care about the character that leads them through the plot and the audience will feel grief when something tragic happens to the protagonist and the audience will have a feeling of elation when the protagonist finally wins in the end. There are two types of antagonists you can employ. The right nefarious villain will make it much more cathartic for the reader when the protagonist finally bests him in the end. Or you can go with something more meaningful and deeper and have an antagonist that is sympathetic, a villain who is on the side of the bad guys but who is not a bad person. In any story characters is what keeps a reader emotionally invested.
Snoopy has dibs on "It was a dark and stormy night." (remember the scenes of him sitting on top of the doghouse with his typewriter?) lol. REQUEST: a short SK story illustrated by Crash McCreary, who did the book version illustration for "Lady in the Water". THAT would be twice as kick-ass.
Stephen King is the man! I love all of his books! Does anyone know when the second book of The Welcome Cure Trilogy is supposed to be released on iTunes? I downloaded the first Ebook Nefarious and it was rad! Quick read but full of action!
For me charatdrs areikd actors and actress solve ever thdte is a spot in your other books you put the. In to that is big part of writing Stephen king yku are wondrous
King's okay when you want a light easy read that doesn't require focus. His Australian equivalent looks like Bryce Courtney . Their 500 page books can usually be condensed to around eighty pages or less for reader's digest stuff ; heaps of pages can be skimmed through as with the Russian classical writers.. .For other writers we can't really do any skimming cos it's all important ingredients for the plot. We can't skim John Wyndham ,Desmond Bagley , Tom Clancy , Patrick Robinson , Frederick Forsythe ,,, We get an education from reading these writers . We get a pleasant daydream reading King and Courtney .
I have never read "You Get the Idea"
Thanks for the suggestion Stephen!
+cloudgirl150 Don't do it! I still have nightmares!
Hahahahahahahhahah
Could that be the next bestseller? :P
Imagine if he actually named one of his books like that. XD

you figured all that on your own!? O M G
You’re quick. 🙄
He's a narcissist.
@@apolloniusbeitsman5444 it's a skit dude, he wasn't literally saying we should just read his books.

"Show, don't tell."
Basically sums up Stephen King's descriptive style of writing
It's actually an excellent advice. Put it on practise and you'll see it
I was Actually looking for advice... this was still pretty funny
A couple of years later but read "on writing" if you're still interested King will tell you everything you need to know right there
lol same
Stephen, you forgot one of the best books to read if you want to be a good writer: On Writing.
+Cheryl Hopper Had to read that in my creative writing class. Great book!
***** Lol! Well it was a writing class, not a literature class so we were being trained to be better creative writers hence why we had to read that book
I've recently bought it at Barnes and Noble. One of the best purchases I've made!
What's it called?
3rd time re-reading.
dAMN I lost it at the end, he knows how kickass he is!
Rewriting is the best advice, editing is often painful but only through that process will you get to the heart of what your story is about!
Makes me want to go watch the Edgar Allen Poe vs Stephen King rap battle.
+Sixth Jayhawk i cringe at imagining the garbage you speak of
German Gonzo are you still cringing? STEPHEN KING himself even tweeted about it and did some raps of his own. But all this fun seems above your head
fuck you, of course he went with it, it's a promotional tool. you're just a tool
+German Gonzo To be fair, you too, sound like a tool.
+User Name I'm afraid I must strenuously disagree with your use of the word "too" in that comment.
This is singlehandedly the greatest advice I've ever heard.
Thanks Stephens!

Stephen king is one of the writers who can write about writing in such interesting way and he wrote a lot about writing.
Read his book "On Writing" if you want more "serious tips". It's on Audible if you're an audiobook listener.
***** I know, he talks about them more deep in the book. He says the same tips, but alot more in quantity and quality.
I got the book!
I love that he says read books constantly and gives a list of his books
This is the only dude whose catalog you can read from beginning to end (60+) books and they all have their own tone and voice. Nothing to relate them aside occasional names that are repeated.

Thanks for the tips Stephen King! I'll be sure to keep them in mind while I write my first book!
I bow before your expertise, sir.
Very amusing/interesting...
I love him. He's the best writer. Video was funny.
He forgot IT
This guy never takes himself seriously - a sign of a very secure genius.
Does anyone know where can I get "You Get the Idea"?
José C Amazon
At your local bookstore :)
Lmao
"You Get the Idea" Is the book Stephen King is still working on. It won't be in your favorite bookstore until 2021.
In the back of your mind. Right next to your intuition ;)
I was waiting for him to say "It" but "You get the Idea" sounds like a good book too
Thanks! These tips will definitely help me throughout the novel that I am currently writing.🙌Lol
Amazing! King is literally the KING of his expanded universe & I'm just thrilled to be on the ride;/ Been a fan since I stumbled upon DT#1 The Gunslinger on vacation in FLO-ridah back when i was 11
Good humor comes out when you be yourself and don’t resist it
Absolutely true, I'm writing my novel at the moment and I've found that all those tips work.
Also listing only your own novels, Stephen, very sneaky.
really nice...
Stephen king is the greatest story teller of all time. Thank you 4 all your amazing work
"IT WAS A DARK AND STORY NIGHT"
Yeap, that's how I sometimes feel trying to write something useful and meaningful!
You know, it never really occurred to me that Stephen King might be hilarious. Today I learned something.
Super important tips.
Really should have a warning ont his video for people with high blood pressure or weak hearts with that scary monster that just appears out of left field. Be responsible Stephen/Stephen/CBS.
For real though, I remember buying his book "On Writing" and while I don't do anyhting professionally, it made me a much better writer, even just for reports but also for any fictional stuff I write to pass time.
It's such a great book. Perfect for any writer or student. I'm going to school to be an English teacher so my copy is full of notes.
He would actually be hilarious in a comedy as the straight man. I would love to see him doing deadpan comedy
I know most will complain about the comment's section, but if there's one thing that's good about them it's the jumpscare warnings. :P
...
I didn't read them in time. :(
The prolific and brilliant (and a bit cheeky) maestro has spoken. 👏
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love his sense of humor
Love Stephen King
Such wise words!
Its awesome how he invites influential people from all sorts of media
Greatest writer ever.My favorite one indeed and my inspiration as a writer
I wanted this to be longer
I had no idea he was so freaking funny! XD
You can spend your entire day writing mud. But to a writer that single sentence is a day well spent.
...But, Mr. King, I've read all those... at least twice...
(Two of my all-time favorite Stephens! On the same TV show! Almost too good to be true.)
Under the dome is my favorite
😂 great tips and hilarious presentation!
Stephe King's level of sass is off the charts.
This is deep. Really deep.
the body/stand by me was my favorite book and movie
he is just too adorable.
We love you Grampa Steve!!!
Thank you, this will totally help me write my thesis about you
I love this guy so much
Thanks steve!!

"It was a dark and stormy night, and I realized I was running out of beer..."

Just awesome.

I clicked on this thinking it was a serious video. What I got was even better!
What a legend.
The greatest there ever was.
Damn, spookiest monster yet
Snoopy has dibs on "It was a dark and stormy night." (remember the scenes of him sitting on top of the doghouse with his typewriter?) lol. REQUEST: a short SK story illustrated by Crash McCreary, who did the book version illustration for "Lady in the Water". THAT would be twice as kick-ass.
Thats some Hero talk.
1. Show - don’t tell (draw it)
2. Re-Write it.
3. Read books constantly.
I am happy that Stephen King didn’t mention on reading It because that book........ was nice to read😰😰😰
I like Stephen King I'm reading one of his books right now. Nightmares & dreamscapes.
Love you Steven King...
I love him haha!

What makes this guy so great. Is he even published? They should get someone who's sold a ton of books like Holly Bibble.

Carrie is my favorite novel by him
when he started saying his own books I couldn't stop laughing
I'm Stephen King's number 1 fan.
