And a final return visit to this comment to let you know that I guess I never did read Misery before, and I'm loving it! I'm up to the "Can you? Did you?" part, and the whole discussion of believable versus fair in storytelling is absolutely fantastic. Very relevant to where I am in the story-writing process myself at the moment, too.

As always, I come away from Stephen King more impressed than with any other genre writer I can think of.
