Stephen King “On Writing” On Cocaine:

Several people insist that King talks about a cocaine addiction, so I guess it’s true, but what I say here still holds true:

I read “On Writing,” but I don’t remember reading that he did cocaine. I remember that he has had health issues since he was a kid (which is how he got into his imagination to begin with). I remember that he had a terrible accident & almost died. So, maybe I just accepted the drugs as part of the process.

But, we are all human. And writers/artists are even more human...

Find Your Tribe! <3

Find a Read & Critique group. You will learn more from reading others’ writing than you will from writing. You will learn more from getting a critique from other writers than any other group of “readers.” (Quotations because you hint that they aren’t even readers.) I pay for my R&C class so I get great feedback from the instructor even when I feel the rest of the group is lacking (tho the group I’m with now is amazing.)

Asking friends & family to read your work is asking for problems: arg...

Steve Osarczuc on the “Creation Vs. Craft Conundrum”

Are you getting caught up in what I call the Creation vs Craft conundrum. These are the opposite sides of the same coin in writing. One side is – Creation. Write your story and revel in its creation. Let nothing encumber you. Don’t worry about structure, grammar or format. Don’t worry about indentations, line spacing or whether the word is spelled ” it’s “, ” its” or ” its’ “. Write your outline, your story arc, the struggles faced by the protagonist and his/her resolution to these struggles. Kn...
