You know you’re a bad writer when Stephen King says you are.
In an interview with USA Weekend, King compares children’s writer J.K. Rowling and teen writer Stephenie Meyer. He states: "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."
Harsh coming from a writer who when asked by Barbara Walters if he ever read Jane Austen or Tolstoy proudly responded, “No.”
