Stephen King's Advice

I bought Stephen King's memoir 'On Writing' 25 years ago. It's in 2 parts – his life story and then advice on how to write.
And do you know – it’s still the best advice for writers all these years later and seeing as Stephen King earns $17 million a year – he must know something!

His best advice is:

1) Write 1000 words a day, 6 days a week.
2) Write in one set place. Close the door. Draw the curtains. Read more of this blog post »

Delightful short stories. I enjoyed most of them and thought the writing excellent. Published in the 90s, old fashioned sweet stories with a common theme - how a shift in perspective can change ones view of an event.

I enjoyed parts of this book but not enough to recommend it. It was long-winded and very detailed. I much preferred The Island of Missing Trees.
