Like it or not, we must recognize that Stephen King is a writer who knows what he is doing . He writes for a living. His is a wonderful job that many of us would like to do. To the question “What work do you do?” he replies “The writer”. I confess that I would like to be able to answer like this. And you'd like it too, I imagine. Writing is a job, of course, but not in the usual sense of the term. It's a job because writing a story requires skills and hours to make it happen. But it becomes serious when you start selling your stories. But let's get back to the topic: why is Stephen King successful? For me there are 4 main reasons. Stephen King started publishing young When she published her first novel, Carrie , she was 26 and a half years old .
For me this matters a lot. At that age you don't have many thoughts in your head, maybe you don't even work, or you work part-time, and therefore you can dedicate a lot to writing. I remain of the opinion that it is very difficult to break through when you are of a certain age. You have little time left, you have a family, a job, and in this scenario turning Special Data writing into a full-time job is an almost impossible task. Stephen King is a prolific writer He wrote 55 novels , 11 anthologies, 7 novellas, 5 essays and who knows what else. Being a prolific author allows you to have so many doors of entry. What does it mean? That if you only have one published novel, you have a certain number of readers. If you have published 50, the number will be significantly higher. These are the access doors. The doors that make you money. Which at least earn Stephen King. Hollywood has also entered through some of those doors. And there's nothing else to add. How can he be prolific? He has lots of ideas . He's quick to write.
He has method. He also has a lot of experience by now. It's one thing to start writing a novel if you've never done it and another to do it when you have 50 years under your belt. But it's not just a matter of having lots of ideas. The main issue is that he manages to turn them into novels. Stephen King can write There's no doubt about this, as they say. I repeat what I said at the beginning: not everyone likes it, just as I know that some people read it and then stopped. In the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads I read different opinions on his works. A year and a half ago I read Joyland , which I could classify halfway between mainstream and horror. Many have said that it is a story that is worthless, that it is not at the level of other great novels by him. But what does this have to do with it? No writer only writes masterpieces. Obviously some novels are better than others. But Joyland – which is not a masterpiece – is a well-written story that stands up and flows. I liked it and I still remember it. Stephen King can just write .
