Pocas veces un libro sobre el oficio de escribir ha resultado tan clarificador, útil y revelador.

«Si no tiene tiempo para leer, no tendrá el tiempo
ni las herramientas necesarias para escribir.»

Mientras escribo empieza con el relato de la asombrosa infancia de Stephen King y su extraño y temprano interés por la escritura. Una serie de vívidos recuerdos de la adolescencia, de la universidad y de los años de lucha que lo llevaron a la culminación de su primera novela, Carrie, aportan al lector una amena y divertida perspectiva sobre la formación del escritor. A continuación King describe las herramientas básicas del oficio y expone sus opiniones personales sobre el secreto de la escritura. Mientras escribo culmina con el conmovedor relato de cómo la necesidad de escribir lo estimuló a recuperarse del accidente casi fatal que sufrió el 19 de junio de 1999.

Work Description

On Writing is both a textbook for writers and a memoir of Stephen's life and will, thus, appeal even to those who are not aspiring writers. If you've always wondered what led Steve to become a writer and how he came to be the success he is today, this will answer those questions.

Excerpts

In the early ninties (it might have been 1992, but it's hard to remember when you're having a good time) I joined a rock and roll band composed mostly of writers.
