Stephen King
________________________________________________________________________________

King is probably one of the few writers who has written book after book on 
wildly divergent themes, with so many hits from both a sales and critic 
perspective. I remember seeing an interview with him and George R R Martin 
together, and King mentioned that he writes like 7k words per day, and Martin 
was astounded. He didn’t understand how anybody could do that. King’s not only 
good at writing, but he absolutely loves it as well. This is like asking how an
F1 champion does what he does. A combo of being incredibly gifted, having an 
insane work ethic, and absolutely loving what he does to the point of obsession.
  
Do I think his works will still be read in 100 years? Probably yes! When the 
Beatles first came into the scene in 1963, no one would have predicted that they
would still be among the most popular bands 60 years later, but here we are. 
Good books, movies, music have resilience. I guess!!
  
PS – Everyone says cocaine, but no one thinks he sold his soul to the devil? 
Shame on all of you.
