On Writing: Summation Essay (or part quatro, whichever you prefer)

    Through his writing, King managed to convey to the reader that the only way to be successful in writing is to persevere.  Now, anybody can say that perseverance is necessary to mastering a skill, but the opinion's one should value most are those from people with experience.  Simply put, King has this quality.
    "I came home to Bangor on July ninth, after a hospital stay of three weeks. I began a daily rehab program which includes stretching, bending, and crutch walking."  What would you do in this scenario?  My guess would be that you would retire to your house and try to milk the scenario for all it's worth.  The ever-vigilant Stephen King, on the other hand, decides that he wants to continue writing his unfinished books.  The man has a passion for writing.  However, at this particular instant, I think that it was more of a personal objective to prove his worth to himself rather than a concrete desire to continue writing.
    Obviously King has an affinity for writing, else he wouldn't do it so often.  But his dedication to the craft is what sets him apart (to me at least) from other writers.  Don't get me wrong, other authors go through adversity, but King's story does have a little more significance than that of any other author's that I've heard.  When skimming along the pages (or Kindle screen, whichever), the reader notices one consistent theme in On Writing: King is always writing.  Even when he's faced with the dreadful writer's block (Gag. I hate writer's block.) King remains persistent: "it all just seemed too hard, too fucking complex. I had run out too many plotlines, and they were in danger of becoming snarled.  I circled the problem again and again, beat my fists on it, knocked my head against it... and then one day when I was thinking of nothing much at all, the answer came to me."  Personally, I would have given up when I was beating my fists on it.
    Without a doubt, King is a dedicated person.  We can all take a lesson from the man whose first great book was about a teenage girl who had telekinetic powers and had tampons thrown at her by other teenage girls in a locker room.  And if this twisted, horrifying scene doesn't sum up the business of writing, then I don't know what does.
