‘On Writing’ by Stephen King
Below is the book review I wrote on the bus in March 2014…
Just finished this book, a great read. Stephen King's short book on writing is both a memoir and a masterclass. Taking you through his childhood and teens, King explains what made him a writer, how he first came to be published, and what kept him at it over all these years. Overcoming poverty, drug addiction, and eventually a car crash in 1999 that nearly ended his writing career, King shows us his unique life experiences and interests, but more importantly, just what makes writing work, in his opinion. As one the greatest story tellers ever, he has good reasons to believe in his skills!
