On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Half autobiography, half writing manual, this is a really good read, especially if you are writing or are interested in the craft of writing. I learned a lot, not just about the craft, but also I things I never knew about or suspected of Stephen King (he was a coke head! Who knew?!?) I highly recommend this book, even if you don't want to write and are just interested in a good read.

Loved this one. A real no bull**** insight into the life and mind of a great writer who also happens to be a pretty down to earth person. Entertaining in it's own right but also valuable as a tool for aspiring writers.

This is a great book about the writing process, and how to go about writing well. I would love to use it in my classroom to teach writing, but alas, it is Stephen King and I think some of my Freshman parents might object. It's a good read and an excellent resource for writers.
