I realize I haven't been blogging about the books I've been reading. So I
thought I'd start with the book I am currently reading (well, one of them...I
tend to read several at a time.)Stephen King's On Writing came out in
paperback recently, so I picked up a copy and dove right in. The first part of
the book is stories about his growing up, mainly surrounding his discovery of
writing and the process through which he learns to write. Since I have been a
Stephen King fan most of my life (sorry, Steve...I know that makes you feel
old,) I really enjoyed that section.
The second part of the book
is his advice about writing. It is aimed mainly at fiction writing, or at least
book writing, and I don't reallly aspire to write books (I really don't think I
have the talent and I doubt you think I do, either,) there is good advice on
writing in general. I won't spoil the book by telling you what the advice is,
just that it is good.
If you are interested in writing at all, or
just interested in Stevie, pick up a copy and support his writing
habit.
list!
