This week’s blog is another writing requirement for my New Media: Writing
and Publishing Class. I was asked to search Youtube.com for a video relating to
a writer or writing and embed it in my blog then write about my interest in the
video I’ve chosen. As you’ve probably already figured out from the title and quote,
I’ve chosen a video with one of my favorite authors, Stephen King. This particular
video is taken from a Q&A session during a public reading King gave of his book Wolves of the Calla in April
2003 at Yale Law School. Who better to get writing advice from than the
prolific, pop-culture icon himself. I’ve read his book On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft and not only was I entertained, but I found it very helpful as an aspiring writer. So, when I saw this video
entitled “Advice from Stephen King”, I couldn’t help but check it out. I’m glad
I did. While the advice he offers isn’t anything new. It’s advice that every aspiring
writer should follow told in Stephen King style. Enjoy.
