Default And they have several differences too.

One BIG difference, King doesn't share his advances and commissions with his ghost writing TEAM.

All writers have their own methods, the in common thing is

they WRITE.

Writing fiction is a different art form, and writing non-fiction is less art and more science or even pseudo-science and/or pop culture and topical.

Thank god there are still READERS...writers of the future are going to have a tougher time (or modify and tweak for future generations).

Reading thousands of books on writing, is like panning for gold in the creek, you have to be able to recognize the resonant nugget from the fool's gold.
