This was the first book I read on writing, and because of this book I started my first novel. Though it's been several years since I read it, what stick out in my mind the most is Stephen Kings words "just write". I had no idea how to even begin, let alone if I could finish a novel. He gave me the okay, and the courage to just start and see where it leads. I was too focused on the how's and what's...all things that had hindered me from starting. He also offers some helpful insight to how he accomplishes his own writing.
