Response to C.V

So as a response to the C.V. in On writing by Steven King, This book really surprised me. You know, everyone says he drops the F-bomb A LOT, and this section will make you laugh-out-loud. But I really don't thing he cursed that much and yes, indeed it was amusing at times, but not enough to make me laugh out loud or be tingling inside with the details he gives. So with the very first page in the C.V. it starts speaking of his hard childhood. But to me, it sounds as if he has blocked some of it out of his mind and so he only remembers bits and pieces. So then it goes on to #4. This is when he asks his mother if she has ever seen anyone die, and she says yes. When she goes on to tell him of it, she is very blunt and straight-forward. It really surprised me because most parents try not to be explicit when talking to/near their children. So next, we go on to #7. This is when his mother notices his talent. Because of him being sick and staying out of school so often, being forced to lay in bed and read comic books all day, he really probably could have never recognized his true passion. When his mother tells him to write a story of his own, he chooses to write about four magically animals driving an old car, and then i realized at age 6 we all had that type of imagination and he's really no different from other person. Next, we go on to #8 where we find out his mother really does enjoy his stories, and trying to make her proud is what really got him started. After his first story, she starts paying him a quarter a story and she tells all of her sisters of Stephen's stories. I believe he was very proud of himself that she loved his stories so much and showed them off to everyone. She was really proud of her son, herself. Through life, more and more bad situations pass him by, but he's learned to make the best of it with him humor and his stories. In #14, we find out his family is going through tough times financially; they made do with whatever they could. His aunts send money for groceries and old clothes in boxes. By #15, he gets the idea of "Happy Stamps", and automatically you notice how grown up and mature his stories have become. When he started sending his storied into magazines and such, he used the advice give to him as an advantage regardless if it was good or bad. When he became 16, he started sending his stories into editors, and by 26, he started understanding just what this industry was all about and how the people in it work. In 1958-1966 King's biggest interest was movies. But to him, everything seemed predictable. Most of his inspiration came from seeing movies as the Rits. After seeing The Pit and the Pendulum, King gets the bright idea of turning it into a book. King then starts to learn the business side of writing when he takes his work to school. After his brother's newspaper Dave's Rag goes under, King starts moving forward in his career starting out in the school newspaper. Soon, he gets his first real job as a sports reporter. His boss gave him advice most would take cruelly and offensively, but King, King just saw it as another outlook to take into consideration when writing, to better yourself. He found inspiration in pretty much anything. Remembering old stories that were told ended up making him some good money unexpectedly.By #25, his writing slows down dramatically and his wife talks him into getting a back up degree in teaching. For awhile, he was forced to work an old nasty motel job while she worked a Dunkin' Donuts. He starts thinking of the life his mother has and comparing it with his own and starts rethinking some things. King never gave up. He was very good with describing things with humor, writes with good detail, has a wonderful sense of imagination, and his details can really make you imagine what he's saying. King was never afraid to pursue his passion
