Good Book For Aspiring Writers
Great book for an aspiring writer, and without the lengthy dialogue that King is so famous for.

The Teacher King

I could have skipped the first 100-page autobio, though I learned some tnings, but what came after that was invaluable to me in its insights to King's ideas about good -- and bad -- writing. Would I recommend it to a friend? I already have, to a couple, who write -- and it was recommended to me by one of the greatest young writers in America.
