On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Many writers seem to love this book. I enjoyed it and I'm glad to have read it, but I don't know that I learned a whole lot from it. (Having said that, it did encourage me to get more disciplined about my writing day; we'll see how that goes.) I definitely liked the CV section, which is mostly memoir. The On Writing section repeats a lot of the same writing advice you're likely to see elsewhere. And it's a small thing, but there are many places where King uses “which” where he really should use “that.” For someone who is doling out writing advice, that seemed like an odd thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if no one in the world cared but me.
