Stephen King talks about the relationship between an author and a reader.
“We’ve engaged in an act of telepathy.” - King, Stephen. On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. Scribiner: New York, 2000. pg 106
This is an amazing book that I think is a must read for all writers. Stephen King has a great story to tell. The book is part memoir, part autobiography. I really like his way of describing the relationship between author and reader.
The writer writes something from his imagination and then years later across different cities or countries, the reader picks up the message clearly, visually, and understands. That is telepathy in action. It is a magic that only the printed word can give us. The thoughts are transmitted from one brain to another.
