"Get busy living, or get busy dying."
Stephen King
On Writing was chosen for this post because SK gives examples on how he got busy living after facing drug and alcohol addiction (mostly with the help of his loving family.) Also the difficulty, both mentally and physically, of getting back to work after his near-fatal accident. This book shows the tenacity of an awe-inspiring author. The most awe-inspiring people to me are my husband, my son, Stephen King and J.K. Rowling. I also want to add that this book has valuable insights for any aspiring writer, hence the name On Writing. (This book somewhat covered my quote post today.) Hope everyone had a nice weekend, I did.
