斯蒂芬·埃德温·金是超自然惊悚小说和科幻小说的巨匠。他创作了大量作品，包括62部长篇小说、5部非虚构作品和200多篇短篇小说。他还曾以笔名理查德·巴赫曼发表过7本书。他的作品，包括《魔女嘉莉》和《小丑回魂》等杰作，已被改编成多部好莱坞电影。就连好莱坞电影《肖申克的救赎》也是根据他的中篇小说改编的。那么，斯蒂芬·金的日常生活是怎样的呢？
What is it that makes this writer so great? He is of course gifted, but his discipline, gratitude and passion combine with his talent to create a writer of such caliber. Stephen King begins his day with a mental gratitude list. He remembers all that he is thankful for in his life, including his family, friends and corgi, called Molly. He tries to stay grateful for not being in pain because he is aware that everyone has some of that in their life. Next, the 73 year old writer proceeds to brush and shave, before tackling on his grand purpose – 写作.
King told the Rolling Stones in an interview that the most important thing he does before reading is having breakfast and going for a long, three and half mile long walk. Post this, he starts writing in his room, which he claims is like any other room. Here he begins with the last piece of writing he found satisfactory and works his way forward. He further said that he probably writes a fresh copy for approximately two hours, and then spends more 次 editing and rewriting. This constitutes a total of four hours, after which he turns off the computer. Yes, he does write on his computer, but sometimes digresses into on-paper writing, such as with his novels like Dreamcatcher.
斯蒂芬·金 talking about his daily routine, he further says that earlier, he used to be able to write over 2000 words a day. However, with age, that has reduced to almost half. Now, at 73 years of age, he writes approximately 1000 words a day. He tries to get at least six pages in every day. His magnanimous work proves his natural flow. For the four hours he spends writing, he immerses himself completely in the experience and doesn’t belong to this 世界 at all. He doesn’t spend time looking at scenery, but tries to write as paced as a reader would like to read. To complement his writing, he sometimes listens to music.
金还在几次采访中强调了拥有或多或少永久坚持的日常生活的重要性。 根据金的说法，这是一种欺骗你的思维进入写作（和梦想）心态的方式。
我们正在谈论的纪律在这里出现了。 斯蒂芬·金在写作时将全部注意力都投入到他的工作中。 他关掉网络，每天早上 8 点 15 分开始。 这证明要成为一个伟大的作家，光有才华是不够的。 摆脱懒惰并全身心投入写作是至关重要的。 决心和努力工作在成为作家的过程中发挥着重要作用。
斯蒂芬·金写作结束后，通常会在下午小睡一会儿。一旦写作任务完成，他就可以把剩下的时间用来做自己喜欢的事情，比如培养爱好、收集写作素材等等。他的晚上通常会和家人共度时光，阅读书籍，或者观看红袜队的比赛。
斯蒂芬金的就寝时间与其他任何就寝时间都没有什么不同。 他刷牙并洗手。 不过，King 对他的枕头非常讲究——他坚持要求它们指向特定的方向。 他也有明确的一面，他喜欢睡在上面。
金的写作习惯，如同他的人生一样，激励着无数有志成为作家的年轻人。他的奉献精神和自律令人钦佩。然而，重要的是要明白，这些并非人为制造，也难以轻易复制，因为它们源于内心。他坚持每日的写作习惯并努力保持高产，并非出于被迫，而是出于内心的渴望。正是这份热情和动力驱使他拥有如此规律的作息。而这并非人人都能复制。然而，所有有志成为作家的人，实际上，无论来自何方，都能从他身上汲取灵感。
