One of the main things that Stephan King says in this book that I agree with is the part where he talks about how when you are writing fiction every character that you create is actually partly or even a lot like you. King says, "When you ask yourself what a certain character will do given a certain set of cricumstances, you're making the decision based on what you yourself would (or in the case of a bad guy, wouldn't) do." After reading this i realized that I do this in my own writing all the time. The characters that I write about often do something that I would do in that cituation, or as King said, wouldn't do if the character was a "bad guy". This makes me think that you could find out a lot about the author of a story just by observing the actions of the characters that they have created.
