Don't you know anon? This low effort Gardner shill is actually decorated american novelist Stephen King

>The adverb is not your friend. They seem to have been created with the timid writer in mind
What did he mean by this?

Are his books actually considered good? For the most part his writing is just nonsensical shit to fill up pages and lengthen a word count. Am I really supposed to read 500 pages of some shit fucked family to read 50 pages of actual plot?

how doesn't he suffer from writer's block?

how does he do it?

> and my bottles of listerine

Where do I start with him?

How can a writer create so many mediocre books that are excellent film adaptation material?

>have been reading his "On Writing"
Is he such a bad writer after all? I mean, what he writes at least on this book is right on point. Is it possible he is actually a genius but only gets shat on because he writes for the normies?

*sneaks inside your asshole*

What's the consensus on him here?

>At the beginning of Stephen King's career, the general view among publishers was that an author was limited to one book per year, since publishing more would be unacceptable to the public. King therefore wanted to write under another name, in order to increase his publication without over-saturating the market for the King "brand". He convinced his publisher, Signet Books, to print these novels under a pseudonym.

Do you think this is (still) true? That more than one book each year will make the readers think the quality is less?

This s my favourite author. The shining, wolves of Calla, the same, misery, everything is possible... he's just amazing. Why does he get hated on a lot?

last thing i read was the plague like 6 months ago what should i read now

ITT: We come up with ideas for Stephen King's next book
>An alcoholic writer struggling with his next book discovers a typewriter that can alter reality which he uses to make himself popular again and kill his critics in horrifying ways
>It starts to backfire when he uses it to give his autistic son telekinetic powers which he uses to kill his school bullies and eventually his father
>His son uses the typewriter to twist the world in the shape he wants it until its fucked beyond repair
