high art, low art, and somewhere in between

Stephen King receives the National Book Award. And if you read the article, you'll see some of the same politics I've encountered in my own genre's community in the past.

Halfway through CHAPTER the FOURTH. I am starting to get to the point where I am having a hard time getting to sleep at night, because I'm having attacks of dialogue. I see scenes in my head, and suddenly I'm interlocutor to two or three or four people in my head.

I know this all probably sounds crazy, and I do apologize for that. I assure you that socially I am very well adapted and even fun to be around. It's when I'm alone and bored that funny things start happening on the way to the forum.
