Synopsis

On Writing: King recounts formative events from childhood through his early publishing career, then presents a practical discussion of vocabulary, grammar, revision, routine, and the habits needed to sustain serious writing. A later section describes the 1999 road accident that left him critically injured and the role writing played in his recovery.
