When I first heard that we would be reading this book I thought that it would be all about Stephen King's writing. He did say some things about, as well as use examples from, his own writing but mostly he spoke about what it takes to be a good writer.He says that some people are just not meant to writers, but if you truly want to become a great writer you must commit yourself to a lot of reading and writing. This book gives an aspiring author a few quide lines to start on the path of getting their writing published. King also shares some of the goals that he sets for himself, such as staying at his desk untill his daily writing is finished. This book may seem as if it was written for people who are serious about writing, but i believe that even the average person who may not enjoy writing can also learn alot from this book. One thing i've learned from this book is that when writing you want to make it flow as easily as posible. You have to re-read your writing and take out all of the things that really do not need to be there or don't exactly make sense; while also adding needed details.
