On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

5.0

I tried to stretch this book over as many months as I could, reading just one chapter (even though I wanted to read many) every day before I began my writing. It not only taught me the craft of storytelling but motivated me to type on my keyboard every day.

On Writing is also partly a memoir where Stephen King pens his incredible journey from writing during the breaks of his laundry job at a rundown hotel to earning millions from his stories. From nailing rejection letters to his bedroom wall to be the most iconic writers of our times. His writing career has been an inspiration for thousands of writers who are trying to make it in the literary world, especially the ones who want to make writing their full-time job, and this book helps those aspiring storytellers to discover what makes a successful author.
