Three Things from Stephen King

In King's book it is filled with many good tips of the trade for any good writer. I think every writer needs to have a sort of "Toolbox" as King talks about. I also think that for different writers your toolbox might be different. As for me, my toolbox would include these three things:




First tip from King that I could use in this class is vocab/grammar. King talks about knowing the basics of grammar. I think this one is important because I think depending on the topic that your writing about you need to use the write vocab. When I write about sports there is different words I put in that mean different things. Each section of writing has it's own vocab.



Second is form. King talks about adding 's to the end of a word even if it ends with s. I could use this because the form would help me look at punctuation which sometimes I am not so good on.  Practice makes perfect.



The last one is just writing and reading a lot. King talks about writing 1,000 words a day for six days. By writing more and more each day I can get better and get good ideas for this class. Reading a lot of the work in the class can help me get better at looking at my own work for mistakes.


King is a great writer and has many tips other than the ones in this book.
