On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

On writing by Stephen King – Narrated by Stephen King

5 stars out of 5

On writing is part memoir, part writing advice non-fiction book, a must read book for anyone who wants to know the creative routine and idea process of a writer. I listened to the audio book, narrated by the man himself and it was fascinating.

I prefer not to give away too many of the books ideas, however, if you are creative in any way you will most likely find the ideas within this book useful to your creative process. If you are interested in learning the amount of work that goes into creating a novel, you will also find this a mind opening read. As previously mentioned this is also part memoir, you find out how Stephen King began writing (at a very young age) and how that continued into high school then adulthood. A must for Stephen King fans, but also, I believe a must for anyone interested in the creative process involving novels and the application beyond.
