“When a book leaves its author's desk it changes. Even before anyone has read it, before eyes other than its creator's have looked upon a single phrase, it is irretrievably altered. It has become a book that can be read, that no longer belongs to its maker. It has acquired, in a sense, free will. It will make its journey through the world and there is no longer anything the author can do about it. Even he, as he looks at its sentences, reads them differently now that they can be read by others. They look like different sentences. The book has gone out into the world and the world has remade it.”

“Stephen King fans are the enlightened ones. Their opinion of your work could never be bad. Mr. King has shown them, in so many ways what to look for. Good or bad, accept their counsel and build on it. It's not about you. It's about the story.”
