In On writing, by Stephen King, King believed that writing was very special and so, he liked to be creative. He enjoyed reading as much as he enjoyed writing. To perfect your craft you must engulf yourself in your passion. He talks about not wanting to have the spark plug mentality, as not to overcharge your brain. One must take the time to be creative by shutting one’s phone and shutting the door. King was a family man and had the support of his wife and children. He was not discouraged by the rejection letters in his early career. It made him more determined to perfect his craft. The book is not an autobiography, in fact, he calls it a “curriculum vitae.” It helps the young writer imagine what the road may be like in becoming a successful writer, and what Stephen King believes is crucial in your early career. In summary, he says to be creative and learn from rejection, keep your passion, and hire the best editor possible.
