10 Things Only Stephen King Fans Will Understand

9. Following His Writing Advice Religiously

Lucky for Stephen King fans, the man has an absolute ton to say on writing, and how to be a writer. His resources and advice are truly invaluable. On Writing, published in 2000, is not only an essential look at the craft, but an extremely entertaining read in and of itself.
