I read On Writing just recently and thought it was a very helpful and cogent book on the writing process, it gave me a lot of valuable insights for my own writing. I had to square how insightful the book was with the fact that it's King writing it, who's writing I've never cared for much. It has been awhile (decades) since I read any of his stuff, but I suspect that much written in On Writing is advice he probably doesn't strictly follow writing his own books. Still a good book nonetheless. King is an odd duck, that's for sure.

Hm I should definitely revisit it then. It’s totally possible for me to imagine a situation where he is able to write well on the writing process and provide good info while himself not being a writer I’d really give much credit. Stranger things have happened haha

Haha, yeah, it was surpising at how good of a book it was. I plan on rereading it sometime again, which I almost never reread books so that says something at least.
