Reading On Writing by Stephen King has not only gotten me laughing out loud, but also I am challenged to re-think my method and approach to writing. He stresses that all important aspect of being a writer. The necessity to read. A lot. "If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time to write. Simple as that" (147). Voracious reader. That's what I'd love as an epitaph. Yep.

Another quote from King, "...the big question. What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer. Anything you damn well want. Anything at all...as long as you tell the truth" (158)

Brilliant. Whenever I try to write dishonestly, it's never very good.

Thanks, Stephen.
