These sections were all about revision, and how you should be writing for a specific person. King calls it the “Ideal Reader”, the one person you most want to enjoy your work, and the person who will read a completed draft before anybody else. This is super helpful for me, because I’m always thinking about that when I write a Letterboxd review or something (even though nobody reads any of it anyway).

Writing is a practice. It should feel fun and never exhausting or strenuous. Think of it like you are archaeologist uncovering dinosaur bones. Both in how steadily and slowly you must use your tools, but also knowing when to quit or knowing when you don’t actually have a fossil to dig up and throwing the story out in your archive.
