"I didn't know what else I might find to do once I got out here, did I? It's best to have your tools with you. If you don't, you're apt to find something you didn't expect and get discouraged." Isn't that a true statement. Through King's metaphor of a toolbox, he here gives us a glimpse as to why this section is called that. That toolbox hold tools while King's toolbox hold the tools of writing.
From his funny stories to his memorable advice, King continues to write with ease. One major thing that kept me interested is his wit and humor. As he compares adverbs to dandelions, I sensed a type of humor behind it. He mentions that it is important to have something different than all other writers so you can hold your position. Humor is one of his. I learned some things I didn't know as well (grammar wise).
Reading this book I have come to the conclusion that Stephen King doesn't care if what he says is offensive. In some cases, I would've said the same thing. This helps him connect with the audience. His style of writing is very blunt as well. He likes to get his point across. Although, many times he includes details that I could live without.
So without a doubt, King knows what he is sayinig. Some things I didn't fully agree with but I see what he means. Can't wait to finish it!
