Stephen King believes that good stories cannot be called consciously and should not be plotted out beforehand. Instead he focuses on a single "seed" of a story, and by letting the story grow itself from here. King often often begins a story without knowing how it will end. King states that his best writing comes from this free writing style.

On this day in 1947 Stephen King was born.
