Caity added to my repertoire of “tips and tricks” by explaining that while detail is not a bad thing, it can confuse the reader. As I went through my paper looking for sentence

The family rented houses and apartments as they were moving, but this time it is different, they
He we go. Just me and myself now. I can write whatever I want and Mrs. Wesbecher can’t read it.

their own skills. Unlike many other books on writing, King discusses in length the language one uses to tell a story instead of how to form the actual content itself. As a fiction writer, King knows that stories can come from anywhere, so he makes a point to give his readers the necessary tools to put those ideas on paper in a way that will be appealing. Because what you write is not nearly as important as how you write it. Although there are clearly defined sections of the memoir, there are three overarching

stubborn and reluctant statistician, was diagnosed with mesothelioma (a particularly serious kind of cancer). Despite the median mortality of eight months, he survived for the next 20 years and died of an unrelated illness.
