Creative Writing: The Famous Author Of Stephen King

“The scariest moment is always just before you start.” This quote is one of the most well known sayings from the famous creative writer, Stephen King. American history has been filled with hundreds of great and influential authors, starting from the creators of the first books in Ancient Rome to the stack of books in public libraries around the world. Throughout all of the famous and inspirational authors, Stephen King holds a spot in the modern world of literature. King has inspired thousands with his words and determination to carry on. He had a desire to be a writer as a child and never lost the interest even with age (“Growing up Believing in God”). Famous author, Stephen King, was born on the 21st of September in 1947.

The other half thought that the media was giving King special treatment because he was considered a celebrity. After some further unraveling of the case many citizens noticed that the reporting police officer was a friend of Smiths and did not follow his instructions for the accident. Years had passed before the situation died down and seemed to be over, that is until Bryan Smith died on Stephen King’s 53rd birthday from an overdose. When the news of his death reached King, he seemed to be sorry for his death and publicly spoke about how he is keeping Smith’s family in mind and mourns for their loss
