What is Writing

 Stephen King is a very straight to the point kind of guy. I like this about him because i can relate to him. I actually feel the same way about some things he said in his writing. For instance, i have to be in a certain environment in order for me to write or read and be able to pay attention. The kind of setting i need is to be alone, maybe a little music playing, and sitting at a desk so that i can focus on what I'm doing. King has a sense of humor but i can also tell that he is serious about what he does. At the end of the writing he said "This isn't a popularity contest, its not the moral Olympics... But its writing, damn it, not washing the car..". I feel like that showed me his passion for writing and that he doesn't put up with people who bs writing and reading. Basically, he is saying if your going to play around with reading and writing, then find something better to do with your time, like maybe washing the car. Also he is saying that writing isn't hard to do, if you can get yourself in the right environment to focus, it should come naturally. Lastly, i really enjoyed this text because he was straight to the point and very blunt about his beliefs and how he feels about people who slack.
