On Writing
''On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft'' is a memoir by Stephen King, published in 2000, which documents his experiences as a writer and also serves as a guide book for those who choose to enter the craft.
== Background ==
Stephen King began writing ''On Writing'' in November or December 1997. After finishing the memoir portion of the book, as well as the advice on English mechanics, King set aside the manuscript in February or March 1998, explaining in the final section of ''On Writing'' that he was uncertain on how or whether he should proceed with the book. In June 1999, King reread the uncompleted draft and became determined to finish it. However, on June 19, King was hit by a van while walking along Maine State Route 5. Following the incident, King struggled to return to writing, speculating whether he would publish another novel. In October 1999, King stated, "After the accident, I was totally incapable of writing. At first it was as if I'd never done this in my life. ... It was like starting over again from square one."〔 A few months later, in January 2000, King wrote that he had finished ''On Writing'' and was more optimistic about his career, writing on his website, "My endurance is much less than it was and my output has been cut in half, but I am working." The final section of the book is titled "On Living: A Postscript", and it reflects on the accident and details his return to writing, stating "things have continued to get better."〔 ''On Writing'' was the first book King published following his accident.
