#StephenKing's On Writing is an absolute banger of a book.
"If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."
"Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life."
"[I]f you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway."
