Currently re-reading "On Writing"

[Sofia Benbahmed]

And I'm loving it. I have been a devoted reader of Stephen King's work since I graduated from Goosebumps when I was a kid, and have had a passion for words and language since I learned to speak. I have had a really rough...life, I guess, not to sound self indulgent or pitying, but have struggled severely with mental illness; my first post here is a vignette I wrote about my anorexia and bulimia. I am 27 years old and just got my GED, and am still in treatment (for the millionth time), but have a job interview next weekend and hope to return to the home I have started to build for myself in Northern California soon (this is contingent upon me doing a bit better in certain realms) and start school, where I want to major in Psychology and minor in Philosophy and Creative Writing.
So, hello world of King lovers.

I second that!
Welcome to the board!
On Writing is one of my all time favorites. There is an audio version worth listening to if you have time.
