The reality today for being a successful author is that all brains think differently in a unique way to bring their imagination to life. One thing most authors share in common is that they all go through many rejections and failure attempts till they become successful. Stephen King is an author of many horror fiction books. The way Stephen King wrote books was to believe that fiction was the truth inside a lie and that’s what made him a unique successful author. On the other hand, Wally Lamb was also a very successful author who got his books published after many rejections. The thing that made Wally Lamb unique with his writing was listening to music.

This is often because I believe a certain topic is hard to write about, or I am not particularly interested in my subject.…

    The Real Writer, says that enjoying writing is more of an “agonistic” type of thing. This means that it is not something you are obsessed with, it’s a love-hate relationship. This is important because it emphasizes that people don’t usually LOVE writing, it is more of a fire that burns inside them. “I believe that I write because I am driven to do so—driven by a will to write (Allen 25).” Basically, writing is not some kind of “gift from the gods” or natural talent.…

    Needful Things by Stephen King: Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, he lead me into the world of science fiction and short stories. I fell in love with Needful Things because it had such a different feel than any of his other works I had read. Needful Things is a metaphor for the consequences instant gratification has. Although the book ends with practically the whole town being decimated by a bomb, I feel as though I still learned a valuable lesson in that, there is nothing wrong with waiting for things. I also learned not to covet what anyone else has because that alone makes people do weird things (there was so many killings based on miscommunications and assumptions, also set-ups.).…

    I spent four years in career limbo desperately seeking a lightbulb moment—when my professional passion would rear its head—but that moment was long gone. It was buried in the challenges I faced as an undergrad student. Through no small amount of introspection, I grew to understand that writing is my passion. I have a gift and combined with my otherness, I have a unique perspective on the world that reveals itself when I write. That perspective has afforded me the ability to create complex stories that are not exclusively told through blue-eyed and blonde-haired lenses.…
