A series of vivid memories from adolescence, college, and the struggling years that led up to his first novel, Carrie, will afford readers a fresh and often very funny perspective on the formation of a writer. King next turns to the basic tools of his trade - how to sharpen and multiply them through use, and how the writer must always have them close at hand. He takes the reader through crucial aspects of the writers art and life, offering practical and inspiring advice on everything from plot and character development to work habits and rejection. On Writing culminates with a profoundly moving account of how Kings overwhelming need to write spurred him toward recovery, and brought him back to his life.--BOOK JACKET.
