Title: Rich In Perspective
Product review: By reading Stephen King's 'On Writing' I expected a few good points about the craft from a favorite author. I received a very rich perspective about writing and life. King peels off his skin to reveal an imperfect past with neither shame or rationalization. He places each memory into a puzzle board revealing a wonderful picture his life and how his experiences affected his stories. This is especially true after his horrific accident a few years ago. Between autobiographical bookends to "On Writing' King provides pointers about the craft. Rather than dealing with the subject in grass blade detail, he broadens the readers viewpoint about key tools and important objectives before putting pen to paper. It is a lively discussion intended to broaden a writers perspective without constraining their creativity. Obviously, I enjoyed the book, picked up some excellent ideas about writing, but most importantly, received a lesson about how loving life is the foundation to good writing.
