But really? You’ve never read one?! I highly recommend The Dark Half; it’s my absolute favorite. :) Can’t wait to hear about your trip to Ireland!

It stills funny to hear that being said about him, but yeah, I can definitely agree in that context.

That book is a hugely recommended book among writers (it was recommended to me by three people before I read it). It’s really quite helpful. Thanks for commenting, Felicia!

What his lesson is, though, isn’t about not meandering through detail of a scene (which he definitely does), but instead not using a bunch of “fluffy” words to get there. While he does tend to use long narration of his characters’ inner thoughts, he does it without a ton of adverbs, adjectives, and unnecessary helper words. That’s what I mean by “get to the point.” His writing is clean and concise in that way. Does that make sense? It’s a great book, so I still recommend it. And thank you for stopping by and commenting. :)

Your opinion may vary of course. I didn’t mean to offend so please don’t take it that way, I just had to say what I had to say.

That being said, I still want to read, On Writing.
