Stephen King: On Writing Post Ideas
TASK #1: Read On Writing. In your journal, take notes about key or important tips about writing as you read. We will use your notes to help us create class discussions in future classes in this unit.
TASK #2: Stephen King invites us as readers into his life. He says of his memoir that it is his attempt to "show how one writer was formed...snapshots, most out of focus" (page 4, On Writing). Along the way, he drops some pretty solid advice to young writers. Read for these nuggets of wisdom.
Please bring your packets back to our next class Monday, March 16.
