Stephen King Is My Writing Teacher


Maybe I'm just looking for another excuse to read some of Stephen King's books again, but I'm going to attempt a blog that discusses Stephen King's writing from a writer's point of view.

Stephen King is a great writer for aspiring-writers to read because he has examples of both greatness and . . . not-so-greatness. I'm looking for examples of both.

Further, when I read Stephen King, I have a great time, and when I'm done, I want to run to my computer and share in that fun by writing. So this blog also has a selfish purpose: inspiration for me.

Let's begin with Stephen King's Carrie I'm using the most recent mass-market edition, so pick up a copy and join the fun. We'll learn so much, it'll be scary.
