In On Writing, King states that a good writer writes often. Throughout his life, King demonstrates his dedication to his writing and shows that a good writer, such as himself does write often. No matter how many rejection letters he got, King never gave up on his writing.
At a young age, King started reading comic books all of the time. He started copying these comic books and adding his own parts into them. Eventually, he started writing his own stories to show his mom, and he kept writing and progressing. Although he was really young, he continued to write all the time.
When King was an adolescent, he sent in some of his stories to be published, but they were all rejected. For example, King sent in his “Happy Stamps” story to Alfred Hitchcock, and it was rejected. He even started nailing rejection letters to his wall to motivate him to keep improving on his writing. He never gave up on his writing, and when he was 16, he started receiving notes with the rejection letters. Little by little, King improved and became one of the best writers of our time.
In On Writing, King says a good writer should read a lot and write a lot. He takes books wherever he goes and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He is dedicated and knows it is part of his job as a writer.
Even after he became a famous writer, he continued to practice and push himself to do better. He wrote during all of the hard times in his life without giving up. He wrote while he was overcoming his drug problem and his drinking problem, and he is still writing best-selling books.
King’s commitment and devotion to writing inspires many writers. His desire to keep improving is the reason he is such a wonderful writer, and I hope many writers learn from that.
Good analysis.
