Stephen King "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft"
While reading Stephen King's "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft," I learned and realized a lot of interesting things. He thinks and writings in such an interesting and different way than most people would. His ideas are all so new and unique from other people's ideas. I was shocked to read about how many hours and days Stephen King actually spends writing. He also makes sure that he writes thousands of words each day. I don't think I could personally do that, especially everyday. I think I would honestly become bored and I probably wouldn't be able to think about new and interesting stories to write about. To be a successful writer, I feel that you definately need to have a very creative mind and have to have been a person who has experienced quite a bit. I feel that if I would have to write day in and day out, I would go crazy, sitting in the same room, in the same chair, trying to figure out what to write about. Some people are definately born to write and do this all their lives, but I don't think I'm that person. I definately enjoy writing, but it depends on what I'm writing about and who I'm writing for.
