Inspiring! Stephen King explains how he ended up being a writer and has inspired me to revise the two books I've drafted to date and to carry on with more writing. I have gained respect for him and now want to read some of his "classics." The biggest take home messages are to be honest, read a lot and write a lot. Read the book to learn more or to confirm what you already know.

This has to be one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time! Instead of just drilling things into your head, he actually teaches you his process and does so in memorable ways with stories from his life that stick in your mind long after! I absolutely recommend this!

Insightful guide to one writer's process. Very interesting anecdotes of King's personal life and childhood. Great for anyone interested in creative writing, not for its tips but for its story.
