A Truly Captivating Tale that teaches while entertaining. These are scattered notes brought together in an article.

Maybe the way it's related in the voice of the master storyteller himself or the book itself is too good; yes I did take these notes from the audiobook and got entertained while learning. Is there a better storyteller than Stephen King, he said that he doesn't even remember writing a few of his books including Cujo because he was high on a cocktail of drugs including cocaine? He admitted to being an alcoholic and couldn't put the bottle down and yet he kept writing.

The first part of the book is a relishing autobiography that smooths into the art of writing.

Here I am going to write the scattered notes that I scribbled and maybe these would help someone down the line, if not then I at least have a typed manuscript with me.

  • Telepathy is what writing is all about. You can receive lost messages from far off places, ideas and fairies to help you imagine and write.
  • Find a place, a nest where you can write with peace; make a far-seeing place for yourself. A place where light is strong and the vibe is alive, look for that spot.
  • Do you have a place like this to receive and transmit ideas?
  • Do not come lightly to a blank…
