The Last "On Writing" Essay

I want to start out by saying that I never thought Stephan King could write like this. All of his other books are scary, creepy, or just really weird; but from reading this I feel like I know him through this autobiography of On Writing. It feels like he has given me lots of advice when it comes to writing. His advice has been so helpful, for example it is said practice makes perfect and that you shouldn't write it all in one day. Another point was that if you read, you can learn through other writers' mistakes and/or successes. Not only has this book taught me a lot about writing but his advice throughout the book but he has also taught me about reading some writings. Determination, good work ethic, and intelligence are three things that will get you through life easier than others and King demonstrated all of these throughout the book He tells you that even when your work is rejected, you should never give up just keep on improving. King was mentally and physically challenged throughout his life through sicknesses, family deaths, etc. and in every situation he makes the best of it and just continues to do what he loves, and that is to write. I can also take this from him, because, while I don't let a lot bother me, I do not always make the best out of any given situation. I don't necessarily know that my future will consist of writing, but I can use King's example and apply it to my life in anything I do and I can be confident that I will be successful in whatever I do.
