It’s amazing what we all can learn when success is spoken in clear, unencumbered English…the very reason King is king.

On Writing is an awesome book, not only as a practical guide, but also I found it to be a window onto how King’s mind works and how he approaches his stories. I just started re-reading his Dark Tower series… so good!

Yes, On Writing is definitely a fantastic book; I think it might be the best book about writing for other writers to read.
