On Writing, Post 1: Success

King's success came in many ways, just as mine will, and everyone's does. Starting off with his mother's smile as the only reward he got from writing, that is the happiest moment of success King says he's had. But, as he developed more of a sense for writing, he wrote in to magazines, wrote novels (and sold them at his school), and eventually wrote novels for the big time. But, success is not something to be taken lightly: it is something earned through hard work and dedication. There was a time in King's life when he had about three hours of sleep some days because he'd work before school and after school. It wasn't for frivolous reasons, either. It was for the purpose of going to college. He was working hard to further his ability to work hard in the future. I truly admire this.
