On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

I read this book as I started to allow myself to write blue songs as it means of giving the dark parts of the pandemic, a place to live, outside of my brain, resting peacefully in art form. I enjoyed this book both for how it made me laugh out loud a couple of times, And because I remember living in Maine and hearing about Steven King‘s car accident in the 90s, but also taking his advice on writing I took copious notes and applied them in the notes folder on my phone to give me some framing for how to think about bringing a song to life. The concept of closed door and open door, number of drafts, the story is paramount, and so on are things that I take to heart (art?).
