I'm not a big fan of Stephen King as a writer, but everytime I come across an interview, I think I would like to meet the man one day. Also, at one point in my life I thought I wanted to become a writer, and from that perspective I am just completely in awe of the guy's sheer volume of output. Writing one novel can be ___ing hard, but he keeps churning them out one after the other, almost like clockwork. And it's not like he's repeating himself, or going through the motions, as far as I can tell. I also envy his ability to create realistic, likeable characters that have depth. To the degree that writing is a craft (an aspect I certainly underestimated when I made my attempt at writing a novel), I consider King a genius.
