Blog Post #3

There are many aspects of this novel that I appreciate greatly, for one, King manages to write an intelligent book using vocabulary that doesn't require a dictionary for every five words. This also proves one of his points that great writing doesn't always depend on the vocabulary or the grammar but, mainly the delivery and control over how the reader takes in the passage.
Another part of "On Writing" that I appreciated was how relatable the story was. By King explaining the tools that one would need to be a good writer through his own life story, it makes it easier for the reader to think about when they have their own troubles with writer's block or any other situation and then think back to King's personal story and situation to his.
My personal favorite part of the story is King's strong message that one should never give up on something they love and there is no better way to prove this message to his audience than through his own troubles and how they brought him to be a spectacular author of critically acclaimed novels.
