Simply outstanding scribble. Well worth the read. I was disappointed to find out King doesn't dig up heads from the local cemetery, reanimate them and write down verbatim what croaks from their lips, but that's about the only complaint I have...

I have decided to take the chance and become a writer, something I have wanted to do for years (33yrs old as we speak) and I found this book to hold the keys I needed to get started. I did the exercise listed in the book about Dick and Jane and upon finishing it, I felt liberated in a way I have never felt before. I have been a avid reader since I was a child and I have been a fan almost as long (I read different seasons at 12). Thank you for all the awesome stories along the way, and thank you for this book which has given light onto the road I will now travel...Sarah

What a great time did I find this book. I was going through stuff and was thinking of my failed attempt at film school then being 1 year into marriage, "what the hell am I going to do?" kept creeping into my head. I loved writing when I was younger. I picked up the book, because of a news report I heard of the accident. I was hit by a car when I was 12. I developed my fractured sense of humor then, but I'm feeling much better now... This book gives me the nuts bolts and a screw to figure out my story. My life story as painful as it is. Thanks little Stevie!
