We may use the whiteboard, PowerPoint, our words, or blogs instead of the traditional novel but the concept is the same. We have ideas and stories to share and we want people to listen and get some sort of value from them. In reality, we are all aspiring writers.

King may have a dark side, a really dark side, but no one can refute his ability to effectively tell a story.
