Of course she could be a lovely person in her private life, but she came across as superior and haughty. Maybe she's a real gem when she's not in the spotlight. Who knows.

Excuse me sir, could you sign this piece of paper? Never mind the fact that it is a check and has all those digits. :P

Being a displaced Mainer at the moment, I lived close to Bangor. Have seen that Paul Bunyan statue many a time! lol.It's also fun when reading a book such as IT(my personal fave)and be able to see the Bangor landmarks he talks about(such as the water tower) Have also seen the man himself a few times. It's not unusual to see him in the Bangor Mall or driving around town, not to mention driving by his house on West Broadway. For locals it's the norm and we leave him alone. and no,unless things have changed which I dont think they have, he does not do autographs if you just approach him and ask. But if you see him and say hey that's different. He will chat with you for a bit. Luckily my mother dated a good friend of his so I got my Tommyknockers personally signed waaaay back in '88! I know this is a rather long winded answer to this question, but I am feeling nostalgic and now, a little homesick! lol. I haven't actually met him myself, just seen him around town. Honestly, I would probably talk to him more about Maine, the mutual friend he had with my mom, and the Red Sox!!

I went to see him at City Arts & Lectures in San Francisco and got to ask him my number one question: do you have posture problems or aches from writing? Because I sure do. He laughed and told a great story: When he first published Salem's Lot, he sent a copy to his idol, Richard Matheson. Much to King's surprise, Matheson wrote back. Not only that, but he had some advice for King. Advice from Olympus! From the gods themselves! What could it possibly be? A single sentence: "Get a music stand." That way, King would have something to prop his manuscript on when he was working on corrections and typing them into a new draft. It was really sound advice to prop up the pages, for him and for me. He also laughed, said it was a great question, and that nobody ever asked about the mechanics. (This last part was bragging, sorry, but I had to throw it in, because it was such a treat to hear).
If I had a second question, I'd ask if the event in The Mist was what caused all the crazy monsters in the Dark Tower Wastelands. He's never said The Mist is connected to DT, but I think it would add up nicely.

I would ask why he didn't write an actual book for Storm of the Century, instead of a moviec script. I loved the movie and wanted to read the book. then I found out that the book was nothing more than a script, so I couldn't get that great character build up and scenery set up that he is known for.

Question You Would Ask Stephen King
If you could ask Stephen King a question, what would it be?
For me, I would ask him about the Paul Bunyan statue that is featured in both "It" and "Insomnia". In "It" the statue is evenly loved and hated by the population of Derry. When we come back to Derry, five years later, in "Insomnia", the statue has been replaced. With all the drastic repairs that had to have been made to Derry, why would the citizens allocate the funds for a new statue that quickly?Last edited by lilbirdy; 06-11-2011, 06:13 PM.Tags: None
