I’m proud because my book was an instant bestseller! And I’m also sad that the world is on fire. This feels like a tiny light. But I shall accept light of all sizes.
I hope you have a twinkling lighthouse too, my friends.

When I was 12, I wrote @stephenking a fan letter. "You might as well answer now because I'm going to write until you do. It would save a lot of time," I said. Well, my friends, that precocious 12-year-old girl is very happy right now because HER FIRST SPOOKY STORY IS ENTERING THE WORLD! @scholastic
