I tried googling King and failed to find him saying that but came across this quote<p>“Let&#x27;s get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn&#x27;t to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.”
