On Writing: A Memoir of Craft

In Stephen King’s memoir On Writing: A Memoir of Craft King describes his motivations, experiences and tips on writing and becoming a writer. King emphasizes the idea that almost all people have the ability to story-tell and write through their experiences and creativity. This idea can allow people to practice their writing to become more proficient. He continually challenges his readers with questions. What are your motivations? Why would you stop writing when it gets difficult? How many times does it take before a writer becomes successful? This book allows readers to understand more about King as a person, his experiences and the life behind the name. I would particularly recommend this book for any individual who writes or would like to better their writing abilities.
