Stephen King Seems to be Writing More

I find it amazing how much Mr King is writing these days. I think it has to do with not being able to do as much as he wanted to do with TV and Movies as he was hoping to do. After his accident Stephen was not sure how much more writing he was going to be able to do. He even warned his readers that he might be cutting back on the amount he was writing. That thought was just that; only a thought.

He focused on his dark tower series and completed the seven book series. Then he started releasing nearly 2 books per year after that. The man is a writing machine. Today I got a birthday present in the mail. It was the collectors edition of his book called Under the Dome. It has been out for a while. It is a doorstop at 1074 pages. This is one that is going to take me a while to read.

He recently came out with a novel about time travel and the Kennedy assassination. Then just this month I got a copy of Esquire Magazine that has a new story by King in it. I believe it is part one. the August issue will have part 2 in it. I forgot how much fun it was collecting everything Stephen King. 

I want to take the inspiration of Kings prolific writing and apply it to my own work. I want to write something that is going to inspire me to write even more. I want to create a masterpiece that will live on in people's minds and on their bookcases. I want to inspire myself to keep writing.

2 Deals on King Books I Found Today

I don't like buying books at full price. You will usually only find me at good will or at a used book store when I am looking for new books to read. I love going to Good will because their books are almost always less than $2.

Today I decided to stop by the big chain store Books-A-Million to see what they had in their clearance section. Every once in a while I will find something that I am interested in. Today I found this little treat called "Blockade Billy".

At 132 pages it is a small book containing 2 short stories.  Mr King was able to release a hard bound copy of two short stories all by themselves. Not many people can do this and actually make any money doing it, but King has the following when he decides to release something, hundreds of thousands of people immediately run out and buy it.Because I waited for the masses to get their copy and for the interest in the book to die down, I was able to get this $15 book for $4.

The other book I found, I wished I had the money to buy was the Collectors Edition of "Under the Dome." This book is massive.I am sure it is more than 1000 pages and the cover says it is illustrated. The price at Books a million said $25.

When I got home and looked it up on amazon, I found it for about $10 including Shipping. This was one of those moments I wished I had a few extra bucks in my pocket to make a spontaneous purchase.When I got home I sent the link to some of my family members who are going to want to know what I want for my birthday this year. I love it when I find great deals.
