I love books like that. I also love what was said about to write, one must read. I agree 100%!

King does give inspiration and good advice on the subject of writing. As to reading his genre--well, I have one of his books (thanks to a birthday gift) on deck to read, the first for me. We'll see what we think...<br /><br />And to supermom (my wonderful daughter!)--I hope I didn't spoil the ending for you :-) I also hope you are continually encouraged in your writing. Even when--especially when--you aren't able to fit it in at the moment. It's there, working its magic, and will come out when the time's right. It's a friend, not a burden!

It was nice to be reminded of some of the things he wrote that made me want to write even more :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-61365776582369430352010-09-28T14:56:26.021-04:002010-09-28T14:56:26.021-04:00Okay, this gives me goosebumps!

Isn't it ironic, how, after not blogging or checking in on blogs for a whole month, I log in today and find this post...after *just reading* about the toolbox in the King book yesterday! (And that was after I'd put down the book for about a week). I only got to the vocabulary part, but the metaphor had already struck a huge chord with me. I kept going back to his words "Whatever you do, don't come to the process of writing...*lightly*." I took incredible encouragement from that. For as little writing as I can etch out, I never come to the process lightly. I always come with a burden that I have to do it. I felt like that's what he was getting at...and then to read how you've pieced together the important facts of his accident and how writing got him through it, wow, that leaves me speechless. I'm going to cling to my own toolbox, even when I berate myself for not opening it and getting dirty more often. The thing is, I write when I can and for now that has to be enough. It's helping me too.supermomdoesn'texisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318220206354774910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-43061230478374472832010-09-27T20:23:15.290-04:002010-09-27T20:23:15.290-04:00Ah, I must give this some thought.
