I apologize. I’ve kind of been neglecting the blog over the past…little bit.

I’m going to try to get better though. I promose.

Anyway, I re-read Stephen King’s On Writing this weekend. I don’t know how many times I’ve read it now - probably at least four of five.

And the great thing is that no matter how many times I’ve read it, I still get something out of it. I think that if I were to read it once a week I’d probably still get something different out of it each and every time.

If you’re a writer, and haven’t read it yet, get yourself to a bookstore NOW.

If there’s one “writing” book that I think every writer should read, it’s On Writing (the other would be The Elements of Style but since Stephen King pimps that one I don’t need to).

The thing that really struck me this time was the idea of your story being a fossil that you have to carefully excavate. It’s all there, you just have to uncover it. That really stuck with me this time.

Have you read On Writing? What’s your favorite part? Is there any other book you read regularly?
