Description:
Rarely has a book on the craft of writing been so clear, so useful, and so entertaining. On Writing begins with a mesmerizing account of King's childhood and his uncannily early focus on writing. A series of vivid memories from adolescence, college, and the struggling years which led up to King's first novel, Carrie, affords readers a fresh and often very funny perspective on the formation of a writer's character. King then discusses the basic tools of a writer's craft -- how to sharpen and multiply them through use, and how the writer must have them close at hand always. He takes the reader through crucial aspects of the writer's art and life, offering practical and inspiring advice on everything from plot and character development to work habits and rejection.
Expand description
On Writing culminates with King's profoundly moving account of how his overwhelming need to write spurred him toward recovery last year. Brilliantly structured, friendly, and inspiring, it will empower everyone who reads it.
