Stephen King is an author you love or hate. Me, I admire his ability to create characters that live and situations that make me hear noises in the dark. His sheer volume of writing is amazing too.
I've always associated people who are prolific with being crap writers; at least that's the way it turns out on many fanfic lists. Does he talk about that in his book? I've wondered whether it's worth tracking down...
Personally, I find I have to read everything that's been posted on a subject before composing a reply, so usually anything original that I might say has been said. 'Me too' posts are one thing I will not do.
