"A short story is a different thing all together - a short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger."So, if you haven't heard yet, I'm trying to be a writer. Okay. let's scratch that. I am "aspiring" to be a writer. And so, my last few years here at CSUSB have been chock full of fiction and literature classes that give me the suitable deadlines I need to give birth to some of my most painfully pushed out work. It also has allowed me to produce some my best. (in my opinion of course) And so, in my attempt to write another story, this time focused in on the "Ghost Story" genre, I look to one of the most creatively sick geniuses this world has to offer. Mr. Stephen King, who elevated himself to a 100 on my awesome scale of 1 - 10 (100 because he has already well surpassed the highest standard) with this comment:
"Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people. ... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephanie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."
- Stephen King
What can I say? The man knows his stuff. And if God can bless me with at least a fraction of his good fortune. I might just be able to fulfill my life long dream after all.
