His next idea came from the poem by [[Robert Browning]], "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came." Due to his lack of income he was unable to further pursue the novel at great length and it too was filed away. King took a measly job of pumping gas earning $1.25 an hour. Also he earned money for his writings by submitting his short stories to men's magazines such as ''Cavalier''.
