New Info . . .

The blindness is probably a rumor loosely based on a propensity for a particular eye disease Mr. King has, only a propensity, not the actual disease.  Actually, I just found this out a few moments ago at his official web site which has answers to many questions about Stephen King.  The link to the site is: 

Stephen King Offical Web Site

I heartily recommend this site to any Stephen King fans.  You can also sign up for a Stephen King Newsletter at that site.

I read somewhere that he's losing his sight.

At some point, King is apparently going to end up 100% blind, due to some illness with his eyes.  I cannot remember exactly where or when I read this, but the news came to light after he almost died in that accident a couple of years ago.  He said he knew a time would come when he wouldn't be able to see enough to write any more, and I guess the time is finally coming.

Sad, isn't it?
