Stephen King's stories and ideas

In Stephen King's novel King says that his good story ideas come out of the blue. Stories also come ot me out of the blue, because ofa certain situation or moral dilemma. Stories most of the time are never thought about, they usually do almost always come out of the blue, because people have a certain idea that comes from a situation at the the time. King thinks of his stories from situations, characters and moral dilemma's like everyone else who writes. It is difficult to come up with a story just for fun and write a novel and King understands this. He writes diligently and knows how to connect his writing towards he readers emotion.


Stephen King also discusses that he got ideas from dreams that he had. Many also have the same thing happen to them, when they begin writing. Dreams are ways that many writers get ideas, beause of the fact that it is a mix of some fantasy and some reality. I have gotten many ideas from dreams that I have had. This is because of the fact that dreams are ways that many escape from reality and are a great use for writing.
