Stephen King on battling self-doubt

Stephen King has sold 350 million books but he still fears failure, he tells Rolling Stone: "I'm afraid of failing at whatever story I'm writing – that it won't come up for me, or that I won't be able to finish it." Marcy McKay writes that reading about King's fears freed her from her own self-doubt: "Most of us will never be as prolific as the author of Carrie, Stand By Me and The Green Mile … It should still give us hope. Endless."
