This blog is one of the ideas I had to get Stephen King's attention. I thought if I could keep a record of what I am doing to meet the man and make sure it was out there on the web for him to see, he might, just maybe, try to contact me and invite me to meet with him. It's unlikely, but the blog will help me keep track of my endeavors.
I have tried to write Mr King in the past, asking for an autograph. I always get a response stating that he is uncomfortable with that concept. He only signs in person. If I ever get the chance to go to a signing, I am going to take my dark tower books for him to sign. This kind of venue is not what I want when I say I want to meet him though. He will not remember me being one of thousands of people he would shake hands with and sign books for in a book store or some larger venue.
What I want to do is create something that I can mail to him, that will make it past his personal assistant, something that will make her say, "Hmmmm. Mr King would get a kick out of this one. I think I will leave it on his desk."
My thought is to make some sort of comic book or sketchbook that will star myself and fictional accounts of me trying to meet Mr King. Then when I finally meet him, he is not exactly what I thought he would be. He would be a crazed maniac or an alien or something even more off the wall. We will see what I can come up with.
