King's passion

I also started to think more seriously about writing when I learnt that Jeff Bezos uses 6-page memos rather than presentations in internal discussions at Amazon.

While Stephen King is, of course, a well-known fiction writer, there are still a few useful pieces of advice shared in the book for anyone looking to write more. The most important element for me is that King talks about his passion – writing, rather than writing a book to 'add to his resume'.

I mostly focused on the second part of the book, which discusses the practical guide to writing, while the first part is a personal journey, although it is also quite interesting.

The most important lesson for me is that discipline is key in writing and spending a few hours a day (every day except perhaps 1 during the week) is crucial for becoming a successful writer.
