King speaks a great deal in this section about several different aspects of writing a book. He focuses on using thematic thinking, making revisions, pacing the story, and researching.
King states in this section the importance of having a theme. He also says that any book worth reading has to be about something. I tend to get a little lost when I'm writing an essay or something because I never think about a theme before I start writing. Now, thanks to this section, I know that I can't just come up with a theme as I go.
Next, he talkes about making revisions to the writing. King suggests that you at least write two drafts for an essay before finishing it. I am the type of person that only writes one draft, but I realize now that if I want to do my best I need to write more than one. He says that the first draft should be written with no help, but you can ask for opinions on the second draft. This is important because you need to at least see another perspective to have a well-rounded book or essay.
He states that pacing and research are very important. He showes that a story doesn't need to be too fast paced or it could lose a lot of the story because the reader can get confused or worn out. He also shows that you ca't have too much back story because it can distract from the main story you are tryig to tell.
