From the time I started writing essays, teachers have always told me to have perfect grammar. From not starting a sentence with “And” or using the wrong words and punctuation. Stephen King says that it is completely okay to make grammatical “errors” and use fragments. What’s more important is style and vocabulary.
I’m really glad that a writer as famous as Stephen King says that writing that may not have perfect grammar is great as long as the writing is original and honest. Writing exactly what’s on your mind will make the writing sound better and flow simply because it is what the author is trying to convey, and not an extremely broken, monotonous excerpt from a thesaurus.
I think Stephen King is a better writer because he writes what he thinks and produces work that is written with only his message in mind. King shows us that the art of writing is not to be picked and picked away at until a spotless essay is produced, but rather that the blemishes are what make the writing art.
