The next Stephen King

From Forbes:

And the next Stephen King could be that guy in the bar--the one who won't stop talking about the novel he's been working on. That's long been the argument of Internet optimists, who have been predicting that the Web would let the masses distribute their work to anyone who wanted it, without having to work through the filter of the big media companies. Now the argument is beginning to find a receptive audience--with big media companies.

Me, pick me, to be the next Stephen King.
