This past week I finished reading what could very well have been the most important book I have ever and will ever read— On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King.
It was required reading for my Features Writing class and all I can say is THANK YOU MR. McHAM!!
I’d been wanting to read this book for ever and a day but always found myself lacking in time and that is something I should never do again…according to Mr. King.
He writes: “IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO READ, YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME (OR THE TOOLS) TO WRITE. SIMPLE AS THAT.”
For some reason, this semester seems to be the one where all the stars are lining up towards that push, that click in my head that will finally put me where I need to be. Or, maybe, I am just finally waking up to what I have been sent here to do.
Quien sabe…I just know that I feel better and more knowledgable about putting to paper the thoughts I have always had…I can’t wait to see what come from all this.
