Some of King’s works-??

On Writing I chose this reading because I believe it is a good representation of why not to be worried in terms of finding your talent I learned and could relate to the mistakes Stephen King was making on the pieces about the basketball game Stephen King was one of the authors I was most familiar with

Quotes “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There’s no way around these two things that I’m aware of, no shortcut.” “Fiction is the truth inside the lie.” “Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.”
