Words of Wisdom by S. King

One rule of the road not directly stated elsewhere in this book: "The editor is always right." The corollary is that no writer will take all of his or her editor's advice; for all have sinned and fallen short of editorial perfection. Put another way, to write is human, to edit is divine. Chuck Verrill edited this book, as he has so many of my novels. And as usual, Chuck, you were Divine.

My sister in-law bought me a copy of Stephen King's On Writing, A Memoir of the Craft, and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable books I've read. Mr. King happens to be my wife's favorite author, but that's okay by me. At least I can still lay claim to being husband to the woman who has tolerated and loved me for twenty-something years.
What I found most enjoyable about Stephen King's book was that all these years I have been doing precisely what he, and many other authors, have been doing as we endeavor to get our books out there for readers. I found it refreshing to learn how he played the same game of coming up with stories, finding time to write, finding time to be a family man, getting books rejected time and again. After 30 years of writing it was good to know I'd been doing something right after all these years.

Keep on reading!
