    I’m not much of a story writer but do enjoy to read. I had an idea to write a story but couldn’t finish it, so I started a webstie called STORYJOIN It allows you to create stories with other members. You start a story and others finish it for you, it’s fun to see how the story ends.

    That’s true but …
    That’s true but Stephen King has been writing A LONG TIME and when you’re just starting out, it’s better to have a system. I think people should start with this method and as they get more practice they can start trying out different methods.

    This method is best if you want the story to actually get finished. I have so many stories in my head that I’ve never finished because I tried doing it the way you say Stephen King does it. I can never figure out the ending.

  21. ZOMG!
    Thank you …
    ZOMG!
    Thank you soooo much! Seriously.
    I’m writing this book, and I had writers block for so long, but I realllyy want to publish it, so now I’m done with it because of you! Thank you sooo much! :D

    Beginning, middle, end… it shows a cat being put together! LOL so random I actually did laugh out loud.

    haha the cat XD .. so funny .. but good im going to try now and write a short story :)

  25. It’s kind of funny, …
    It’s kind of funny, Stephen King writes in a whole other way. He makes up charecters, and a premise, starts writing, and let’s the story flow, until it ends.

    He says that he never knows how his stories are going to end.

    So I guess there are many different ways of writing, and that you have to find your own way of doing it.
