It had a beautiful dust jacket with a picture of a light yellow house with a storm door. I wasn't into Stephen King's work — and in fact, I'm still not — but I was drawn in. Stephen King's work may not be to everyone's taste, it's certainly not to mine, but I think we can all agree he is a prolific writer who can craft a story and weave a narrative like no other. I picked up the book and devoured it in the Border's cafe. I took it home with me — after paying for it, of course — and I devoured it again. And again. And again. Over the course of a summer I must have read that book five times. Partly a narrative about his career, and partly a how to manual for writers, I was captivated. One part, in particular, stood out, and I have come to that teaching time and time again over the last 2 decades. Today's episode is about that teaching.
