Of course this book was very insightful, King has written books like a madman for a very long time! I found much sound advise and inspiration in this book, and I'd recommend it to every writer, no matter what the genre. I would also recommend it to those of you that like to read stories about overco...
Re-read in May, 2012: I've subjected myself to a lot of "how I write" books over the last year, and this remains one of the best. As someone who has made my living as a copywriter for more than 25 years, I don't believe anyone can throw a template or simple step-by-step "system" at the craft of writ...
"Do I really have any other choice?" Rose shrugged. "Only bad ones, dear. But it's better if you want it. It will make the Turning easier." "Does it hurt? The Turning?" Rose smiled and told the first outright lie. "Not at all." Doctor Sleep - published a very short while ago, making...
I started this book several years ago and quit. Not because it wasn't good. No, no, but because I was afraid of book spoilers. In the process of writing on his craft (writing) King discussed certain books, how he developed their plots and characters, and some of the events within them. I find all of...
This is a much-loved and dog-eared book you will have to pry out of my cold, dead hands. And it's not that I'm a huge Stephen King fan. I don't rush to buy everything he puts out, and I haven't read all his novels. Though I do think The Shining and Salem's Lot are the scariest novels I've ever read,...
I used to think I’d never read a book by Stephen King (well, I don’t like horror. Why would I have?). Then one day I was looking at an edition of a science fiction novel I’d read as a teen, The Running Man. I found it now appeared to be by Stephen King—he’d published it under the pen name of Richard...
This is a really short book for Stephen King. He usually has a hard time coming to a stop. I say that not as a criticism. Sometimes you want a book to go on and on because you are enjoying it so much and Stephen King tends to do that for you. In this one, though, he wants to give the aspiring writer...
Very much enjoyed this, almost more for the biographical back-story stuff than for the actual writing advice. Not that it's not good advice, but I almost feel like I learned more from hearing about his inspirations and his methods. Recommended to any King fan or any writer!
