This book has been on my radar for a while: it was mentioned on the Kermode and Mayo podcast and the title of Emma Smith's Portable Magic is also a quoted from it. It's nice that it's read by Stephen King himself. I was more interested in the potted biography than in King's advice to fellow writers, but if you're looking for someone to give you permission to write and a few tools to do it, then this would be a good place to start. I'd probably find it more interesting if I'd read some of his fiction books (I've only seen film and TV adaptations), but they're too long for my taste and not my tempo.
