What Writing Is by Stephen King

I found this piece very eye opening. It tells you how we all have ways of writing and our way is very unique from everyone else's. One person may like to sit down at a table with complete silence with a cup of coffee burning right next to them. While another person likes to write with music playing to releve them from all the distraction's happening around them. I have a place like this, and its in my room with my ipod in just drowning out all the noizes that might distract me. What i got from this piece by Stephen King was that we all have different way's of writing but we all connect in some way, shape, or form. In his example of the rabbit in the cage with the number eight on his/her back, i found this very enlightening. It shows us that even though we were not in the same era as him when he told us about it we all connected to him in the same way with him. He said that "we just had a meeting, not in person but with our minds." I found that to be very wild and crazy because i was understanding that both our minds we were thinking about the same thing. The eight that was in blue ink on the rabbit's back.
