On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft is a memoir by Stephen King

Steven King’s on writing was a surprise for me because I expected it to be an over all dark eerie piece of work but rather it was very joyous and dark at the same time.  His tone seems happy with a little bit of gloom inside but over all happier than I expected. Maybe the gloom exists because he is a crazy old man with a headful amazing stories. I expected this book to be depressing but rather focusing on the depressing memories he gives a positive and funny perspective. We experience a side of him as he shares his personal experiences with failures and just epic life events. He could make this book depressing because I’m sure there were many times of that, but rather it is meaningful.


I feel encouraged when reading his work when it comes to writing. Stephen has a relaxed tone with a great flow in the way he carries out his memoir. This book gives me an idea of his developing artistry and what led to the amazing legacy he is. There are funny moments in the story where I smiled and laughed hard. Steven King is pretty humble for who he and I admire his relationship with Tabby. This book is encouraging in writing in my own style and experimenting with writing in a way I have never done before, and will push you to cultivate your own personal writing if you enjoy writing stories as well.
