Apologies to Stephen King

I don't know if any readers recall my very first post on my blog. It was about Stephen King's IT, and I must say, although I stand by my opinion of the film, I feel, if Mr. Stephen King was reading it, I apologize. I was arrogant to start going off and saying your horror books aren't well written or are a bit "out-there". Although, in my personal opinion, I still prefer your sci-fi and drama work (as well as your short stories), I shouldn't have tried to make my opinion sound like fact. I reread a few of your books recently, and have come to appreciate them more, specifically Carrie, Cujo, IT, Gerald's Game, Dolores Claireborne, Misery, The Dead Zone, and Salem's Lot. I was wrong to say that you should only stick to specific genres, I think that you are a very good writer, and I do respect you, and I think you should have the freedom to write whatever types of stories you wish, including horror stories. I'm sorry that in that first post I was an arrogant douche who thought he could tell a respected and influential novelist how to write his books. If you read that post, I sincerely apologize.
