On Writing
A Memoir of the Craft
Half autobiography, half toolkit, written either side of the van that nearly killed him.
Half memoir, half instruction manual, written either side of the accident in 1999 that nearly killed him. The first part covers the childhood, the drinking and the years of rejection slips; the second is as practical as a plumbing guide about adverbs, passive voice, first drafts and how long to leave a manuscript in a drawer. Writers who dislike King tend to make an exception for it.
