Reading and Writing Stephen King says that reading and writing is the only way to improve as a writer. I must say I agree.

The ones that have been stamped deepest into my memory are It thanks to which I am still not a fan of clownsThe Stand, Pet Cemetery, Sleepwalkers, Misery, Carrie and The Shining, but there are at least a dozen more.

There are too many to count. On Writing begins with a mesmerizing account of King's childhood and his uncannily early focus on writing to tell a story. King advises writers to put down the first visualized details that come into your mind — the priority is to keep the ball rolling.
