2 things I absolutely love about SK's writing

1: The stories are paced well. Unlike some writers who go on to describe everything in extensive detail for too many chapters, SK gives just enough narrative to propel the story and then it's back to the adventure.
2: He enjoys writing himself into corners. I really love that about him. He will come up with the strangest, most creative stuff, knowing that the harder he makes it on himself the more he will enjoy figuring out how to get his main characters out of trouble. This is why he is so fascinating to us. He doesn't fear boundaries. This allows the stories to sort of write themselves, enabling him to become what is essentially the first reader. Not many people can freehand write like the King.
