The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet, a long short story by Stephen King. Discusses the concept of little people that write novels for fun, called Fornits... also is a good story breaking down how someone can go absolutely BATSHIT and not even realize what's happening... or perhaps isn't batshit after all. It's left ambigious to which it actually is, which I like.

Oh, YEAH! King is a master at that sort sort of story. Kind of a creepy thought, though.

Little bit creepy, but still one HELL of a story. It's in the Everything's Eventual collection.

I read that! (I think...) I'm surprised I didn't remember. Heh.

Well, 1408 kind of grabs your attention more than most... :)


And I was wrong: Ballad is in Skeleton Crew, not Everything's Eventual. Eventual was Riding the Bullet.

Okay, then. If I've read Skeleton Crew, it was twenty-five years ago, so I guess I can be forgiven for not remembering. ;)

Give it a new read, especially if you're going through a writer's block point. The character is so much more sympathetic that way. :D
