I agree, this title sucks. How about: "How Steven King's wife's unwavering support saved Carrie from the trash can"

Or really anything other than this title.

How about "terrifying 90 year old tattooed bikini butt"?

Just above half way down. NSFW.

Not here, please.

Apologies. I thought it was a valid example of a clickbait title based on actual article content.

I agree that the title is misleading or at least unclear but I believe the misfit they are referring to is not Tabby but Carrie.

I'm confused too. Maybe they're referring to the fictional character the book is about?

All too often a person's entry into success is described as a single moment where they finally catch a break, but I think it's more accurate to consider their life leading up to that moment. Perhaps Stephen King's success could also be attributed to a particularly effective English teacher in school, or supportive parents, or a particularly inspiring book he read when he was young.

If we fail to account for the cumulative effects of the persistent pursuit of a goal, we start to get the impression of success as a single "lucky break".

I think they refer to Carrie, not the wife.
