when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck
I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off
anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received
“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”
14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking
Photographer
Angus James was fortunate enough to capture this shot. He said: “As I
was pulling my lure from the fish to release back into the water I
noticed two little eyes looking back at me from inside the fish’s mouth.
After capturing this picture, the little green tree frog leaped
straight past my head onto the nearest tree. It was one of the coolest
things I have seen in my life! This is one lucky frog!”
