ON WRITING- STEPHEN KING:

My mom gave this book to me years ago. I read it straight away of course because it was Stephen freakin’ King. I wasn’t sure why she gave it to me. Sure, I’d been writing comic books and Dungeons and Dragons’ character backgrounds and creating my own fantasy RPG worlds, but I never really have a goal of becoming an actual writer, or novelist.

My mom knew what she was doing.

I’ve read this book once a year since then and found it’s been an indispensable and inspirational insight to any and all, who take the path of the writer.
