I remember watching The Stand a few years ago and oddly enough, that was the book that inspired me to start writing seriously. Of course, every one of his books that I read after watching that movie, inspired me in different ways. It was a few years later that I came across his "On Writing" and decided I had to read it. It ended up sitting unread until I did start writing and decided I wanted to understand it more. It's definitely the book to read if you want to become a writer.
What I really wanted this post to say was:
Thank you Stephen King for inspiring me. You are currently my favourite author - I have several of your books that I could easily read over again, such as Christine and Misery. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have picked up the idea of writing again and actually want to take it seriously. I'm currently half way through your "On Writing" and I love it - so much I think it'll make me sad when it's over! You're amazing and I hope you continue to write.
