Challenge day 5

Pages 69- 82, sections 26-29

Busy Saturday made for late reading. I almost put it off. Alas I’m going to try my best therefore I read.

Damn Mr. King is a good writer.

Today’s take:

Having someone who believes in you makes all the difference. A writers perception of a character or characters may be as erroneous as the readers. Stopping a piece of work because it is hard is a bad idea. The challenge of not liking, or being uncomfortable with, a character or situation might actually bring about a good work. Possibly an incredibly good work.

I’m finding that his lessons about writing are lessons about life. I’m happy that I took this challenge on. I’m happy I made it a challenge to break it up, to write about it and to digest it in small pieces.
