Nora’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

4 notes & 32 highlights

Mary Karr’s memoir, The Liars’ Club.

“Good writing is often about letting go of fear and affectation. Affectation itself, beginning with the need to define some sorts of writing as “good” and other sorts as “bad,” is fearful behavior. Good writing is also about making good choices when it comes to picking the tools you plan to work with.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story,” he said. “When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story.”

“في مدن العزلة
أختار هواءً مرئيّاً كي يصحبَني
أبتكر له ظلاً
وأدرّب قدميه على موسيقى الخطواتْ
نتحدث كغريبين عن الطقس المعتم
ونفكر في فصل لا يأتي
.. أو في عاصمةٍ للحلم
تلاحقنا أشباح الوقت
وفي أيديها ساعات موقوتةْ
نتجاهلها
ونسير على أرصفة اللحظة
.. حذرَين
لكي لا نخطئ
وندوس على قدم غريب يتوسطنا
كي لا نخطئ ..
وندوس على قدم الموتْ !”
― محمد الضبع, صياد الظل
