Never Flinch book review: Stephen King tries plotting and comes out plodding

Stephen King doesn’t do plotting. “Plot is,” he decreed in his memoir On Writing, “the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.” Instead, he likes to drop his characters into a situation, start writing and see where things go. If he gets stuck, he follows the advice of Raymond Chandler: “When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.”
