On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft


Title: On Writing: Memoirs of the Craft
Author: Stephen King
Finished: September 21
Pages: 288
Publisher: Pocket
Publish Year: 2002
ISBN: 0743455967

For all those aspiring writers out there, this is an amazing book to pick up and learn a few things about the craft and the process and some suggestions that King has used for his journey to become a writer.

It’s not a manual, and it doesn’t set strict guidelines or tell you everything you have to do. He merely suggests what he thinks are some helpful hints, plus gives the reader his story of publishing and writing, all the bumps, successes and failures.

I found this book most helpful because it helped me realize that I’m not doing anything wrong and that there is no right or wrong way to approach creative writing.
