If you like reading writing advice, Stephen King has a good book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. It's a quick read and is full of good advice told through his past works.
- ripe 4y agoThanks for your recommendation. Stephen King's On Writing is itself enjoyable to read. I have read it cover to cover more than once. He says he first realized that writing could be learned and taught when he was young. His first boss, a newspaper editor, made annotations on King's draft of an article with red ink. Mind blown. Why doesn't everyone teach writing this way?
- klodolph 4y agoI got annotations on my writing assignments in red ink often, starting in 5th grade or so, all the way through the last writing class I took in college. Or green ink, in one class where the teacher thought that the color red provoked negative reactions. I thought it was a common way to teach writing.
