King On Writing

Courtesy of the library, I read Stephen King's On Writing about five years ago and thought it contained good advice. I asked Santa for a copy of the new 2010 edition and I was not disappointed.

I took some time this afternoon to relax and read a portion and found a quote on page 57 from his first editor that is worth sharing: "When you write a story, you're telling yourself the story. When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story."
