GRRM: "You know how some days everything you write is terrible, and you can't make any progress, and all your efforts end up getting thrown in the trash and you feel like a hack?"

King has said in so many words that he is fully aware that he writes hot dogs, not steaks

I'm more liable to not immediately hate King the way I hate some prolific 90s YA authors

I would be genuinely shocked to learn that King has ever once hired a ghostwriter

king strikes me as the kind of writer who genuinely finds writing fun, loves his craft, and would not trade it for the world
