King used two young girls that he encountered during his school years as inspiration for the main character. The initial advance for the story was just $2,500, but when he sold the paperback rights, he made $400,000. Unhappy with his original manuscript, King actually tossed it in the trash, but his wife loved the novel and convinced him to reconsider pursuing it farther.

9. A Near-Death Experience

There’s nothing like a near-death experience to hone your skills for writing thrillers and horror stories.
