Because everyone loves a good story
On Writing, Part 1: King’s History
And so it begins.
This week we start to examine Stephen King’s _On Writing_. (Please hold your applause until the end of the performance.) This masterful book of million-dollar writing advice begins with the harrowing tale of young Stevie King, a child who suffers many pains and woes.
If you’re squeamish, read the first section with one eye closed and the other squinted. Otherwise, I think you’ll enjoy the backstory for one of America’s creepiest storytellers.
Stephen King’s “On Writing”: An Introduction
Whether you like Stephen King’s works or not, there’s one thing that’s certain: the guy knows how to sell books. In this week’s post I make a (rather embarrassing) admission about my knowledge of Stephen King. I also propose an itinerary for my upcoming series on King’s helpful book, “On Writing.” And, best of all, I kept it SHORT! Read on, my friends. You’ll be glad you did.
PS: It’s driving me nuts to put a book title in quotation marks instead of italicizing it, but my font options are limited on this blogging platform. My apologies if it grates against your nerves as well.
