Synopsis
"If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write."In 1999, Stephen King began to write about his craft -- and his life. By midyear, a widely reported accident jeopardized the survival of both. And in his months of recovery, the link between writing and living became more crucial than ever.Rarely has a book on writing been so clear, so useful, and so revealing. On Writing begins with a mesmerizing account of King's childhood and his uncannily early focus on writing to tell a story. A series of vivid memories from adolescence, college, and the struggling years that led up to his first novel, Carrie, will afford readers a fresh and often very funny perspective on the formation of a writer. King next turns to the basic tools of his trade -- how to sharpen and multiply them through use, and how the writer must always have them close at hand. He takes the reader through crucial aspects of the writer's art and life, offering practical and inspiring advice on everything from plot and character development to work habits and rejection. Serialized in the New Yorker to vivid acclaim, On Writing culminates with a profoundly moving account of how King's overwhelming need to write spurred him toward recovery, and brought him back to his life.Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower -- and entertain -- everyone who reads it.

- s***o (325)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item’s appearance is much better than I expected. The physical condition is exactly as described in the listing. In my honest opinion, the quality of this item makes this the perfect addition to my collection. The value of this transaction was increased due to the seller’s prompt responses in securely packaging and shipping the item. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase this! I recommend this seller and I’ve added the seller to my Follow List.
- t***e (93)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseDescription of 'like new' was accurate, book arrived a couple of days ahead of estimated date, and it arrived in a slightly padded envelope but no damage was on the book. The price was a little high for a book that's 2 years old, but cheaper than what I found elsewhere. I would buy from this seller again.
- d***m (16)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe manga came just as described by Big River Books and I am overall very happy with it. One thing that really impressed me was the way, the team handled some issues/false tracking info, which was 100% caused by errors on my and the delivering company's side. They handled the situation with utmost patience and were very customer orientated, which I do not take for granted, considering the circumstances.
