Write with one person in mind, your Ideal Reader, the person you most want to impress with your writing.įor King, it’s his wife. You can’t please all readers all the time. No one wants that and they’ll put your book down quickly if they feel that way. Your reader is your friend and you need to treat them as such. Not because you don’t know bigger words, but because you don’t need to show off. Just write, whether you want to or not, whether you have the time or not. King writes daily and puts out a phenomenal word count when doing so. Writing is like a muscle: use it or lose it. We’ve all heard this advice a million times, even from our fearless leader here at The Write Practice, Joe Bunting. (Incidentally, most rich people read extensively. Personally, I don’t shun the television entirely, as I think something can be gained from studying shows and movies for their story just like you would any other story form.
SUN HAVEN STEPHEN HOW TO
How can you know how to write if you don’t read? That’s like saying you can build a skyscraper without having ever looked at building plans before. Seems basic, but I’ve met quite a few new writers who don’t read. I’ve chosen a few that he mentions time and time again and that I’ve applied to my own writing.

King has been active for over fifty years, and he’s given a lot (and I mean a lot) of writing advice in that time. Want to learn how to write a book from start to finish? Check out How to Write a Book: The Complete Guide. Read on for tips on how to write a book like Stephen King. (If you’re a writer and haven’t read On Writing yet, you need to go get it. I’m going to take you through what I’ve learned from King after years of reading his fiction and poring over On Writing like it held the key to the universe’s mysteries. (My muse has since decided that wasn’t the best course for me and has gone off in a different direction.)

I even mimicked him for a while in my own writing. What I do know is that King’s books have taught me more about writing than any other author’s work. I’m not going to pretend I could ever write as well or as prolifically as King. Whether you’ve read him or not, you know who he is and I would be amazed if you haven’t experienced his work in some form or another. Stephen King has written in just about every genre imaginable, has sold over 350 million copies of his books, and has had work adapted to movies, miniseries, and comics.
