Blog #3

I liked the section in the end of the book where Stephen King talks about the day of his accident as well as the months of recovery that followed. After he got hit by the blue van he was severely injured and endured a very intense and painful recovery process. Something that I could not even imagine going threw. In this part of the story you see how dedicated King is to his writing when he describes the pain that he feels in his hips and back while siting and beginning to write again. He struggled at first but he never gave up on his daily writing. He does this because he truly enjoys writing, and I think that is what makes him such a good writer. On page 195, King says, "the practice is invaluable (and should feel good, not like practice at all)." I think that in most cases, for someone to be a truly good writer they must write because they like to write.
