I just finished reading On Writing : A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King. It may be a bit of an overstatement (not to mention still too premature) to say that this book changed my life, but damn, people! The man's got some great advice, about both the mechanics and the business of writing. If you're a writer, I'd make this book mandatory reading. I recommend it even if you're not a writer, but just a King fan, as it's got a lot of entertaining autobiographical stuff, including a full account of getting knocked down by that van a couple of years ago. But if you are a writer, professional, aspiring or otherwise, read this book! I can't stress this enough. Don't make me come over there...

Big love and thanks to Terrence who bought me this life affecting tome for Christmas. Quoth Cordy to Angel, "I love you!"
