Stephen King: The Rolling Stone Interview | Rolling Stone – My favourite part of the interview is when they ask him about his relationship with money.

But I don’t even think about money. I have two amazing things in my life: I’m pain-free and I’m debt-free. Money means I can support my family and still do what I love. Not very many people can say that in this world, and not many writers can say that.

That’s pretty much the same goal the Snook and I have.

It’s the best time of year again, when all the clean-shaven, baby-faced boys start growing out their glorious ‘taches in support of charity.

Just reminding folks that Frocktober isn’t just a fun hashtag – it’s actually raising money for a really great cause. If you’d like to donate to ovarian cancer research, my fundraiser page is here.
