I have read a hundred pages of On Writing which was enough to intrest me. It felt like I skimmed because of the such detail. Stephen king did not live a tragic early life, just a unlucky one. Between wiping his butt with poision ivy, measels with the needle-to-ear medicine, stipe-throat, a crazy baby sitter who farts on his head and among the other things, he had a wonderful life.
Ironically he becomes an drug addict and alchoholic (like many people). In quote 'only a lunatic-- a mosochistic lunatic--- would make booze part of his life'. I would say self-taunting would be appropriate for his writing style.'Dam I'm an alcholic' he says later in th He get's over it by writing the book Misery, metaporizing the main antagonist, Annie Wilkes to drugs (also with her oh so helpful loving wife).
And now I'm going to reading the next part TOOLBOX, two-hundred and some pages left.
